 |  | 24 hour post edit lock
< on 10/28/2004 1:06 AM >
|  | | | Hello! First of all i havent said this yet, but thanks for setting up this website, the location DB is really neat to look through and participate, and a place where people with this interesting hobby can talk and share. I havent contributed any money yet but that should come soon =)
Ok, for the topic.
Whats the reasoning behind the 24 hour edit post lock? Theres already a policy not to edit threads because you said something stupid or false etc... I think that would be enough to stop edit abuse?
I have 2 posts where i am missing a word and I cant change em! Its not that important really but has there been much abuse on this ? Im just curious

| | | | Yes, we've had several people go back and "modify" ALL of their old posts, going back months in some cases, and replacing them with nothing or junk content. It's a huge hassle to revert the edited posts later.
We decided that 24 hours was enough time to make small corrections. Any other important corrections, you can make a follow-up post, or possibly ask an admin/mod.
If enough people want it, I could create a feature that lets you "Add" content to your post, without letting you edit it.

Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Ebay uses something like that. Once the auction has started, the seller can still add information to the listing, but it shows up in a separate box beneath the main description instead of letting people change anything in the listing. I would be in support of this if Av decided to pursue it.
