A suggestion

[Tsadi]

That we have a longer amount of time allowed to alter a thread. I think we must have something like a one-day period before the ability to do so is expired.

 

((Mods - i need to have the ability to change my thread in physics, or i can't perfect it))

 

Tsadi - cheers

[insane_alien]

its 6 hours and it is their for a reason.

 

the last time we dropped them we had a number of people going back and editing their previous posts so extensively it made most of the replies look like jiberish as the origional context was lost.

 

what you do if you need to edit a post after is send the final draft to a mod and ask them to put it into the post. if it will not disrupt the thread then it will be put in, if it will, then it will be made as a seperate post. although i think this is likely to be something to do with your guide, in which case it will be fine. i have asked a mod to edit my irc guide before as well(that was also the reason the editing restrictions were dropped funnily enough)

[Tsadi]

So if i select parts needed to be changed, they will insert this information?

[insane_alien]

yep, just tell them you want to add this that and the other and change something else and so on.

[Tsadi]

Cool. Sent it to Caps.

People reading this please be advised: staff won't appreciate lots of requests for trivial edits!

[iNow]

So, you're saying I should limit my number of requests to fewer than 10 per day?

 

 

 

Think about it this way, Tsadi. Once you squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube, you can't put it back in. If you're not ready to use the toothpaste, don't squeeze the tube. You'll have to live with it once you have.

[Sayonara]

I was going for 10 per thread but your idea works for me.

[Tsadi]

I fixed it myself anyway.

 

Sorry to be a possible bother.

[Dave]

Tsadi, no bother. It's just we've had bad experiences with people deleting all of their posts and ruining the thread continuity, hence the policy
