[QUOTE="MapleDots, post: 2347521, member: 322549283"] I used to think unlimited editing was a great idea until I owned my own forum and people inserted malware links into pictures. When the pictures were clicked they were taken to malware sites. Now I use a 1 hour rule and it seems to be working well for people. I also instruct members to use the report feature if they want to make a spelling correction or something. As a general rule one can post again if one wants to correct something in a post after the time limit has expired. So I am with [USER=130638]@amplify[/USER] and thinking there has to be a control of sorts. Maybe 5-10 minutes for new members under 10 posts and 1 hour for established members. Being a forum where the next post is highly reliant on the context of the first post you can understand the platform cannot have people edit the first post to the point of where it makes no sense within the topic. So a 1 hour limit is probably a good balance because inevitably the first post is quoted preserving it should it get changed dramatically by the author. I know on my forum I have no reply button, only quote which assures posts are not over edited to lose context. [/QUOTE]
