Archon 2.1k Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 On multiple occasions I've posted a long status or something and autocorrect screws me up and I have to delete it and re-type it. So why don't we have the ability to edit a status? Ocelot and toaster1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emunator 3.1k Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Don't get your hopes up to much, remember the forum software is IPBoard. It has to be possible on that to do it. Also it could be tedious for moderators. A user could abuse or brake the rules, but when a Mod checks it, they could of edited it, making them be able to get away with it and claim they don't know what they are on about. (This factor could be removed if it was possible to see a Edit history for it if ever implemented) "How could this cause' a flamewar?" Well one way I could see this happening is:Emu Writes a status: "Elven shot is gay!"Elven: "No you're gay!" *Emu edits status too "I am awesome :D"* Emu: "Wtf elven? I'm reporting you for being rude"Elven: "What? You called me gay!" Emu: "No I didn't?" If you get what I mean, But ofc, like I said before, this could easily be solved by a edit history of somewhat. Otherwise I have no idea how this could cause' a flamewar lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I have no idea how this could cause' a flamewar lol. Maybe, can mods can see previous versions of posts? I dunno. OR, there can be a "See original version" thingy so we can see all the edits that have been done to the post/topic/stat P.S I don't think it's appropriate to reply a swear with a swear, well, not here anyways Edited September 6, 2014 by abdullah1579 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMaxwell7 181 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah mods can see the unedited version of the thing.. So flame wars can be solved with ban hammers.. DJDJ and toaster1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to go solely on images and nothing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
