Seriously people how can you fight a war on terrorism with all of your borders wide open!

The Goverment Has Failed All Of You.

Americas Founding Fathers Must Be Turing In Their Graves, As Well As Every Revolutionary, Every Soldier That Has Fought For This Great Country.

People like to retract statements when they are proved wrong.
Yes.
Think before you post.

Uh oh, cover your eyes, it's another "long" post! Oh, the humanity!

There is no good reason to reduce the timeout on post editing. Having the option to allows people to revise their posts when they later discover that they have made a statement in error, or if they later wish to add onto a post (say they found a really juicy link) without double posting- which they'd promptly get bitched at for because folks hate double posters. And let's not forget the greatest single reason (IMHO) to have an edit feature: dumb fucks who don't know how to type. Case in point- read above. Yes, people abuse the edit feature to take back things that they've said in order to deny that they ever said them to begin with- and to that I can only answer that there are plenty of people who abuse the option to post by spamming up the forums with pointless drivel. Changing the edit feature would have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the amount of dumbfuckery that goes on around here.

On a somewhat related note: current usage rules for the English language state that every word in a sentence need not be capitalized. Somebody needs to use the edit button more.


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

Perhaps an option to see what an edited post was at one point? Though, this may just make the forums load slower or something.

I would like the "edited at whatever" removed, it makes posts look ugly, make it a option if you want.

Not having a time limit means you can go back and re-edit your post if need be.

Having a 30 minute Edit time limit seemed a bit harsh to me when I came here...especially given the fact this is a computer game forum and one of the most relaxing places on the entire internet.

I just hated the Edit button; the last remaining symbol of tyranny. So you can imagine my joy when I found out the time limit was removed. And yes, I was the one who found out first:
