"Lay down your pencils.. now."
I usually correct something in my posts. But more often I seem to just not be able to do it in under the provisional minute or so and I get the extra line beneath my post saying I edited it. Can we all maybe get a little bit more time? Or just me alone?

I'm fine with the current setup. Is it really that necessary to change it?
''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
But.. my pride.

Actually, I'm with Tricky. I'm a compulsive editor, and it's always a race against the clock to see if I can avoid that annoying little line
An extra few minutes would be nice

Yeah, I'm with Tricky and DW. I frequently come back and edit my posts. Multiple times. Doesn't bother me that the edit shows on the bottom, though.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
I think that every post should say it has been edited even if it has not
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
Well, that's easy for you to say. You have no pride.fable wrote:Yeah, I'm with Tricky and DW. I frequently come back and edit my posts. Multiple times. Doesn't bother me that the edit shows on the bottom, though.

At the moment, you get two minutes to avoid the "edited by" line. I'm hesitant to increase that time, as it only opens the door further for major edits after a post has already been read by (potentially) lots of people. Minor spelling and grammar mistakes are pretty easy to correct during the two-minute allotment, and I think it's only fair for the community to be notified if the poster has made any significant edits beyond that (for the sake of debates or whatever).
Is there a better argument than "what about my pride?" for increasing the time limit?

Um, I'll kill this carrot if you don't do so?
Actually, I hate carrots, always have. So I'll probably kill it anyway.
But if you don't increase the time limit, I'll make it feel the pain.

You don't have to Fable, it's already quite visceral. I just can't be serious about anything I say even when I'm making a point. Being of solemn mind and conviction is anathema to my state of being.
No, but I get you. I suppose most forums work like that. I have never seen a misunderstanding or argument arise because someone decided to change his post shortly after writing it though. The common sense here should be that I only need to check my writings before I hit submit. I do, and I swear it is never enough. It is something I seriously just can't stand.BuckGB wrote:Is there a better argument than "what about my pride?" for increasing the time limit?
