I like the fact there is no editing. I like being able to research a members past postings, many a liar and troll has been revealed over the years. Except for a few here, a misspelled word or two is no big deal, trolls on the other hand is another story. Not saying either of you are by no means.
Well I’m thinking more of grammar and spelling since there are people here just waiting to jump on someone’s post because of errors, missing words, etc etc. Or if it was a stupid post or erroneous post you’d might want to remove it.
You make an excellent point.
In order to avoid having trolls trying to alter history, a ‘post-posting edit’ function would need to include 1) some kind of attached notification that the post had been edited, and 2) a tracking/retention system to keep a record of the original unedited text.
That would be a lot more complicated to implement than a simple editing feature, so we’re probably better off without it.
I guess I just need to get in to the habit of using “Preview” to reduce my typos.
I agree. I’m happy with everything the way it is except I want to read and post from my phone which is way too arduous. Reading on FR is easy with the Opera Mini browser app, but writing a post?? Horrible. Nigh impossible.
I don’t care about editing afterward, you made a mistake, deal. An app for mobiles would make me very happy though!!!
And improved search feature.
