It's just hard for me to relate to staff's viewpoint on this because I've rarely ever, if ever, had a problem on my board with allowing people to edit their own post. The only problem I've ever seen is allowing staff to edit everyone's posts, one staff member going nuts *caugh* Dana *caugh* and using the staff power to do damage to the board. What's the extent a member can do? Insult someone and delete what they said?...
Again, 30 mins should be fine. There's just those moments when you're in a hurry to post something quasi-important, you rush it out, leave, come back, and see your post was riddled with errors. It'd be nice to have the ability to avoid that, but if staff here feels that the cons of allowing such luxuries out weight the pros, then so be it. It's cool, really. I just thought I'd bring it up, what with the new server and all.
It is an issue, because as members you guys seem to have what you consider "deserved" freedom. Just look at the post where Captain Silver recieved a warning, even though it's clearly something you would get warned over and a completely stupid and useless thread. We get compared to Nazi's.
Everything we do as staff is questioned, and as such we need proof for everything we do. Hell their are still people who think Dana and Max where "unjustly" removed because the Staff is "corrupt".
The very fact that you are bringing this up proves my point. The staff has told you numerous times in the thread that it was an issue, yet instead of believing them you continue to question and push the issue as if maybe we are lying or possibly the members have magically matured.
Think about it, imagine someone who didn't get along with 18 or Bra posts a picture of porn and then when they see it 18 and Bra say "This guy needs to be banned" he gets banned but before he edited his post to something else and then rants about the staff ganging up on him.
You don't have to believe it, but we've seen it and as such that's why it's here and that's why it's staying.
