I’d like editing after posting to correct mistakes and also being able to vote on posts.
“I’d like editing after posting to correct mistakes and also being able to vote on posts.”
We have those in our forum and these features can cause huge conflict. Editing allows folks to bash someone and then go change it to cover their tracks. And we had to set our voting system to just positive “likes” with no downvotes because of sadistic campaigns to gang up and mass downvote each other. It can cause more fights about downvoting each other than actual productive dialog.
But very limited editing would be nice. Like a limited time to edit real quick, like one minute to click edit or it is set permanent. But blocked from editing as soon as someone else replies to it.
I actually prefer to not have editing.
Too many people could post inflammatory stuff then change it and deny it at a later date instead of owning their words and actions.
I do see where it would be a help as there are times I screw up posting something of making a comment later that I regret and wanting it removed without pestering the mods.
There are advantages to both.
I have no complaints. Just very thankful that I have a place to go to learn, vent and be with friends.
