Ability to edit posts indefinetely is now gone?

Post by Speedster » Wed Jun 15, 2016 11:00 am

Is it just my account or does the ability to edit posts now have a time limit? It was a useful feature for updating/correcting/expanding certain posts (such as lists of power levels, theories etc) instead of re-posting them.

No, not gone forever. Working on some maintenance tweaks. Hold tight.

Wasn't there some talk about removing the ability to indefinitely edit your posts in the event that someone goes on a deleting spree, as has happened in the past?

I'm 99% sure there was because of stuff like a certain member editing most of his old posts and typing in "b" in all those posts.

There was in the thread I made discussing the timed editing. I would understand wanting to prevent that, but you also kill the ability to keep a maintained first post in a thread, and for certain threads, its vital (or if you make an error or something, of course).

Why is this a problem, exactly?

Well if you ask me there's no real point in doing so as people like to go back and look through old topics but you can't because they're all gone
