Should we remove the edit post feature? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

perhaps the mods could edit posts.

but I hate it when someone posts something outrageous, but then edits it before I can see it. I always miss out on the fun . Removing the edit feature would prevent people from editing away embarrassing mistakes (although this would include my own mistakes...)

So whatcha think?

I can't be held responsible for certain posters who still can't decide what their posts will actually end up saying. And I refuse to quote the entire page whenever BC posts "just as a precaution".

Although I must admit the block of text has certainly improved since the previous edit.

Btw Spikie, you should change your name to a single syllable.

You know, some people who are evil enough could use this edit feature to really cause a large amount of confusion. I wonder if perhaps we should ban its use.

Of course my answer is noway. Or how should I deal with double posts if I cannot edit them down. Or how should I deal with links in my posts when they get invalid or when I make them invalid. Or how should I deal with attachments that none needs or should be removed, because it is for example a piece of slic code that noone should use, because it is so buggy that it should be better replaced by some better code. I find many reasons to keep this features. In the end I am responsible for my posts, and if I come to the conclusion that I cannot take the responsibility for my post anymore I have to change it.

Not on boards where people routinely write long and involved strategy articles. The ability to clarify is essential.
