| To edit or not to edit . . . that is the question.
In the past we let users edit their own posts. Reasons for and against?

If it is about people changing their opinion, etc... do what Facebook has done, keep the button and make a log of edits available to be seen. But honestly, if people are taking things so seriously on this board that it affects them if the context is edited, they need a life. |

| Sorry, I darn near posted as gail, we are using the same computer tonight.
Good question. Many boards don't allow editing. I was curious why too. They explain that people could post whatever they wanted and then edit it later, but by then the damage would be done.
So now, if you see something dark and evil being posted about someone . . . . copy it quick, before they edit it.
(Of course, this would never happen on our board.) |
