Edit Option.
 
Did someone put in a time limit on the ability to edit a post and if so can we get it removed?

Re: Edit Option.
 
Or maybe extended to a month? I know some forums do it to prevent members from backing off stuff they said but I never thought the Warpath needed a feature like that.

You can't edit your past Dirtbag. Just live with it and move on.

Lol, nice on the reason for edit.

Still it's just that with the game tape threads I make it's best if everything is on the first post and these days I don't have enough time to get around to all of the videos at once. Plus theres a post I wanted to go back in the Super Happy Fun thread to add another video without cluttering the thread with an extra post.

Does this have to do with any of the recent flame wars and trying to stop guys from going back to edit post where they went over the line? Either that or theres a bug with my account or the forum.

Not to my knowledge, but you'll need to ask The Ego.

Man its killing me on my spelling/grammar fixes. For some reason my proof-reading skills escalate after I hit Submit. Oh I well I guess I'll just have to sound as dumb as I really am.

Ego...............I

In all seriousness though I know theres a reason, and maybe I'm alone but especially now that it's gone I feel like we've lost one of the better unsung features on the forum, especially after being on other forums that have an edit time limit. Always made me feel like a little kid having to bother the mods to edit a post.

I hate to say it but from what I can tell the actions of two trolls are ruining the functionality of the forum for the other members.

Still I realize this is your forum, a non profit forum, and I don't have to post here, but it's been so long that this place feels like home.

Anyway I guess what I'm asking, actually begging on my knees, as I type this to please reconsider.

And I say this knowing that in about 10 minutes I won't be able to edit this post.

Just speaking for myself: the inability to edit my posts after a minute is going to cause the frequency of 5 consecutive post runs by yours truly to become a reality.

No, I'm not going to quick post four consecutive times for effect below. Yet.

Unless he re-enabled this feature. I thought a time limit on editing was placed a couple of years ago. In fact, I'm sure it was.

No, it's happened just recently. I don't know if it's 10 minutes or 30 minutes but these days I[m getting locked out of editing post. Before if I really wanted to I could edit post that were a couple of years old (and have as a joke).

Maybe it was disabled and then re-enabled. Who knows. :smashfrea . Seriously though, I don't think it was that short. When I made that post where I quoted all the Beck doubters for accuracy in the how far can Beck take us thread I feel like there was at least a few hours between when I made the post and when I edited it, so it can't be like 10 min short. Who knows, maybe I just don't remember it that well.

It's at least 15 minutes. I'm already locked out of my 12:30 post right above yours.

Thank you very much to the ego and the rest of the mods for taking my annoying Crosby like whining into consideration. Now if we could only stop head shots against my account.

I notoriously edit my posts, but only if I miss a tiny thing like a letter in a word here and there. Only once or twice in 5 years on this board have I totally deleted an entire post of mine. As far as total content goes, once you've posted, you've posted. Your feelings at the moment are out there. You had the chance to proofread before hitting "submit reply." Shit happens, I guess. See the drunk thread.

This. I edit plenty of times, but 99% of the time it's because I realized I was typing so fast I forgot to throw an entire word in there.

I just need it mainly so I can go back to the first post of my threads and update information. Particularly the game tape threads and the annual pre-draft visit thread. Otherwise the thread just gets cluttered and it becomes to difficult to find stuff.

Special needs dictate special circumstances. Unfortunately I'm not the one who handles that so good luck :D. Although I do understand your situation.

The only thing I really want to do is be able to go back to the opening post on my threads and edit them the way I like, especially when either new information comes along or I finish a new video. It sucks and it's tedious having to bother a mod especially for someone like me who changes their mind a 1,000 times before he's satisfied. Like I only get one shot to edit it after it closes and again it goes back to 2 trolls ruining this for the rest of the forum and I don't think thats fair.

Like on this thread, how much would it suck to look through the whole thing for all the videos? And I had to go through 3 or 4 different formats before I found the one I liked.

Threads like this also take a lot of editing though I admit I might have been able to finish it within the current window allowed for editing. Sometimes it seems arbitrary as to when a post gets an edit stamp and when it doesn't.

Again this is another big one. It would be extremely tedious to have to read through the whole thread to get all the info rather then just read the first post and comment on what you think.

And I'm pretty sure GTripp likes to re-edit his post game evaluations threads as well.

I'm sorry to keep bringing this up but to me it's akin to playing a video game and having a major button that either doesn't work or works half the time. I don't know I hate having my post set in stone and it's not like if I try to change something to save face that the mods wouldn't know about it.

Well I was constantly updating your original post in the pre-draft workout threads.

And I don't know why you keep saying 2 trolls.

Regardless, if you have to bother a mod you have to bother a mod. There are 7 of us, and we're here to help as needed. If it's a bother, we'll let you know.

RedskinRat and the Warrioz guy that got into it with you a week or two ago . I don't know specifically if that was the cause but I'm guessing that they were the catylst for the loss of unlimited editing privileges for the rest of the forum.

Besides which mods are up at 3 or 4 in the morning when I'm editing these post? Better yet why not make me a mod. Sure I'm unbalanced, more prone to rage, and nuerotic then the other 7 but I just want my phone call, I mean ability to edit my post.

Seriously though what will it take to remove the editing window? Besides asking or telling me to stop complaining about the editing window. Do you guys want money?

Fair enough. I'll be back here in this thread though at the start of the season which is going to be a big week for me because thats when my other self imposed Warpath bans get lifted (ie Darth Vader and being allowed to mention a certain rookie).
