1 minute editing

[roushstage2]

What caused the 1 minute editing limit? Seems kind of short. Usually, by the time I reread my post, it's too late for me to add/subtract/or fix anything.

Definatley agree... I can type fast, but that is pushing it...

Re: 1 minute editing

Mike answered this in another post but I don't remember where. The main point of his answer was that people are asking questions, people respond, then they change their question to make the answer look stupid/repetitive.

Also like he said, just takes one person to do this and it messes it up for everybody else.

I think that the problem arised when a member kept on editing and deleting his post and screwing up the forum in general. He was permanently banned.

I'm gathering by that post it was part of the new forum rules? That post also says 30 minutes though (which I always thought it was)...

It just started doing that to me a couple of days ago.

Re: 1 minute editing

We should have a reasonable amount of time to edit our post to better ask a question or to correct mistakes.

I do now re-read and check what I type before hitting the submit button!

Re: 1 minute editing

I seem to remember something about this. When the switch happened it was going to be changed to a 10 minute window for editing purposes. I thought that was the rule. 1 minute is just too short.

Re: 1 minute editing

I agree, the time limit has lead to me posting multiple times to append or correct my post.

Re: 1 minute editing

We'll bump it back up to about 20 minutes. We cranked it down a couple of weeks ago due to a potential problem with a new member, but for now will move it back and just keep a real close eye on things.

Thanks for understanding...

Re: 1 minute editing

Change has been made, there is now a 25 minute time period where you can edit your message.

Re: 1 minute editing

I appreciate the time (no pun intended) Mike, I was just curious what was going on.
