Time limit on Edit function

[snpark]

Who thinks the edit function should have a time limit of say 5/10/15mins max and then after that you have to make a new post.

It should be used to correct spelling mistakes or grammar.

NOT used to change or amend or update large amounts of text hours and hours later.

This is wrong and not fair. And unless you notice that a post says it has been edited you don't realise that some members are going back and changing their posts several hours or even days later particularly if they have been called out for posting something wrong or incorrect data

Thankyou

Yes edit up to 15 mins then have to make a new post

No let members change their words hours and days later to completely change whole posts

It may be not fair sometimes (minimized if the other posters can also change or even delete) but , at least to me , I felt that when I changed my posts I was (mostly) benefiting the Forum (besides , of course , benefiting my credibility too) .

I think that this Forum is important for the (so many) people looking for information , and a lot less important for (very few) active members argue (in which case you may find unfair situations) .

For those people looking for information , it is a lot more efficient & useful if they don't have to ready a thread of too many pages to clear their doubt(s) .

Note : If you didn't notice , I constantly revise what I wrote , sometimes many times a single post . Not thinking to win an argument , but more to optimize the content in order to be clearer/precise/trustful to the readers .
