Forum post modify timer.

(1/3) > >>

GeoRmr:
The modify timer should be removed from the first post made in a new topic to allow the authour to add futher points/revise guides in the guides board etc.

Milevan Faent:
I support this. It has made it so I closed my thread instead of letting it go on when I couldn't update the OP with new information/clarification. I've been told it's in for "dispute records" or something like that, but the sheer lack of disputes where this would be NEEDED (at least in this part of the forum) make this a completely useless feature. It just irritates people who need to edit the OP with more info. I've never seen a forum with this kind of feature. If nothing else, at least make it so having more than a certain number of Salutes or Posts allows free editing.

The Sky Wolf:
In forums where there wasn't a closing timer, I've seen certain clan recruitment pages grow to become extreme large, informative, beautifully decorated and last for years without the poster having to constantly make new posts whenever they needed to say something. They would just edit the page.

Also with the current system it's impossible to list the names of each clan member in the thread because that would require constant updating. The GOI threads would need to be more editable and flexible if Muse wanted to see better .. and more intriguing posts. I myself keep getting great ideas for suggestions but lack the time to make the suggestion properly because I have to consider the fact that I can't edit it later.

Oliver Colt:
I don't know if this is possible but maybe each person could request a mod to make a specific post editable (just like deleting threads and such right now) so that feature is added and the OP can edit the OP xD and of course they'd have to give a good reason like "yeah I'll need to keep it updated blah blah" so the disputes part that could appear from making them all editable is avoided :P

Cheesy Crackers:
Maybe just the "Guides" section and the "Clan" section of the forums can have the timer lifted. But instead of infinitely being able to make edits restrict it to one or two edits a day.
