Edit Post Notation !!!

Once upon a time, we had no editing at all, and it caused us to get way too many emails on a daily basis from people wanting us to add sentences to their recently submitted post or edit grammatical errors for them. So there will always need to be a little bit of editing time to keep support requests under control.
 
One thing you can probably do is to Quote reply to the trade message with the original time and date. This way, if the poster changes it, it won't disappear.

I prefer to have the 60 mins to edit my messages, but it just means that I have to double check before sending. I don't post any trades.
 
HAHAHAHAH
funniest feedback, WHAT WILL I DO NOW :(

I NEED at least 4 hours to look through my merriam paperback dictionary to fix my posts!

I totally agree. I havent felt this strongly about any change on here. If you suspect someone of doing that you can trap him as FT says. The 10 minute limit SUCKS, SUCKS SUCKS. I am constantly sticking my foot in my mouth and I need more than 10 minutes to remove it.

Baron, may I ask how many people requested this change?
 
I will have to stop posting if this stays in effect. I am too damned impulsive for my own good and always flying off the handle. I probably delete half my posts. The one hour grace period has been my safety net. Overall I think the ability to delete is beneficial for the forum. It may reduce the number of posts but it improves the quality.
 
Baron,

this is your site, but can't the members humbly request of you to put this up for longer study...meanwhile please return the edit time to 60 minutes.

Please?

Heh, this is gonna be a sort of ironic post. I support the 10 minute edit rule - you hit that Submit button, and you should be committed except for small errors IMO. Grammer, HTML, IMGs, font sizing, etc. all should be correctable. But if you post something you think strongly enough about for 10 minutes, but are not willing to stand by it (or apologize for it, as I am about to do), then . . . well. . . it's high time you grew up a bit, and maybe this will help.

I support the 10 minute rule, and think it should be 5 or 7 minutes.
