'edit' function

I hope the forum give 'edit' for my own post forever. Also remove the 15 day limitation for new member. Never saw a good forum have so many limitations.

I'd argue that these kinds of limitations are what make this a great forum

thanks for your feedback!

I think if members were given the ability to "edit" forever, they'd probably abuse it a bit during some disagreements, to try to make themselves look like a bigger man by editing their post after a response to it has been made.

The only productive aspect of having an "edit" forever feature would be for updating OPs in build threads and such. Moderators seem happy to do that for the thread starter, so it's a moot point.

I've been on many other forums that have even longer "waiting" times for stuff like accessing PMs, the classified area, and so on. AZ has the perfect balance IMO.

The reason is because you can't just trust anyone with those abilities.

So some of us that can control it, should be thankful to those who abused it and because of them, it was taken away from everyone.
