Suggestion - Allow users to edit posts

[giantbender]

I just started several threads and I really needed the ability to edit them but I can't so I've had to post replies instead. It would've been easier if I could've edited my original post. I can't find a suggestions forum so I'm posting this here, please move it to suggestions if this isn't the right place. Thanks

New users are denied that privilege to prevent abuse.

 

New members will gain an edit privilege after X posts.  I won't mention that number on the grounds some new members create, numerous, frivolous posts to achieve that number.

Ok. Well I'm not new but I don't post much except when I have a problem. I don't know how one could abuse the edit feature. Can you submit a request to give me the ability to edit? I have some broken links and a merged post and I'd like to wrap everything together. In fact I think the edit feature would prevent numerous frivolous posts!

Yes, your account has existed for a while but the number of posts makes the case of a "new member".

 

I can not submit a request to give you or any other "Edit" privilege.

 

You may PM a Forum Administrator and have them edit your post(s).  Otherwise you can just post and "addendum" to qualify the previous post.
