why can we edit our post only 15 minuts after posting....

i would be very greatful if it had been changed into an hour for example.

Raz, hunny, could you consider this?

cause otherwise you can bash someone and after you're sure that person read it, change it so that you appear innocent

^^ wot he said.

it's been abused in the past.

It was Tired Hiker's fault...

i can do the same with editing it after 15 minuts.
and having an hour would really help.

but if it is not possible.. so...


closing- closed.

you cant close thread so stop trying

i'm not trying.
it worked a few times

just give her that, she always wanted to be a mod

and i'll never be

Editing is in breach of my rights of free speech

*sues raz*

you signed up here, you agreed with the rules, editing is allowed, reread it

In Terms of use:

i've never read rules

*loses case*

*sues yerss*

it says you have to pay him

*throws some coins*

how much?

just report it and get a global to edit it agter 15 mins

to complicated.

you're just lazy

it really can't get any easier, push the button and give a reason, anyone should be able to pull that off

eh-rahw rah rowr

you changed your name cry





and that's exactly the reason TH's doing

Who are you?

I do not remember exactly but i thought the editing time limit had something to do with TH...

silent_kisses?

aka: sil

I know...

but she's sil at the moment anyway

http://img64.photobucket.com/albums/v196/freakydeakybuddha/Baboso.gif that's me

maybe the time should go up to 30 mins? I don't know. Sometimes I see mistakes 5 mins after it's too late

bag seems so.

I believe 15 is more then time enough

I don't. All the other boards I belong to, there is no time limit.

Say someone is really keen on spelling, or phrased their post wrong. Should they see it the next day, they can't go back and edit it, because we're only allowed 15 minutes?

Everything on this board is subject to "abuse". How many instances were there, and when, that took place that led to the decision to do away with self deletion and editing of posts?

I'm just curious, especially why we can't even edit our own user names.

erm... you CAN edit your own user name

and it is clear there is a very good reason to why there is a timer on it, been explained here I believe
to be totally honest... this is kmc, you play by their rules, not by those of other boards

And if you dont like it, then buzz off

A retired line from yerss' sig

So naturally it means nothing

well, that one did mean something and they didn't listen

which one?

the stupid Biology has to keep editing mine because i only speak ameoba talk

can't believe you didn't notice that KMC is so NOT like other boards.

I tried editing one of my posts 8 minutes after posting originally, and it said that "you can only edit your post before 15 minutes after posting"...blah blah blah


Wtf?

nevermind. i think it was my computer now.

Why is there a time limit on editing?
I just wondered there, when I was editing my post on another site.

I'm no expert, but Bashing could be a reason. If Person A got into a fight with person B, Person A could go back and edit some of his posts to be Hurtful or whatever.

Anyway, the Edit time should be a bit longer, even if it was only Five minutes more. More than once, I've had to double post because I just missed the time.

How was Banned-Land, Bloigen?

A post should be your thought at a specific moment, and should not be changed over time. That is why the posts are ordered by date, so people can follow a conversation as it happened.

The editing window is only meant to correct minor mistakes. 15 minutes is more than enough time to correct any errors.

Okay, cool.

Could we have a longer period to go back and edit posts? 15 mins doesn't seem to really cut it. Why not an even 20 or even 30 mins? It's annoying realizing you've made several spelling mistakes, and since English wasn't my first language, nothing can be done to go back and edit them.

So, this is a no?

Spellcheck.

I wouldn't mind an extended time limit either...

I guess it's a no, since Raz's post declines it so in a past thread.

So, this is a no? This has been asked before and it was decided that 15 minutes is enough to change a post.

I disagree, there have been times when I wanted to change my posts.

20-25 mins seems more reasonable to me.

Y-you disagree? :O

I don't see why 15 minutes wouldn't be ling enough. T o be fair, it's a luxury even having an edit function.

let's have a 20 minutes. and lets get back to making me a mod
