Have you guys noticed? 

 

Reasons for mods' removal of the option:

There has been more than one instance where a user who, after starting a thread and receiving responses, proceeds to completely edit the OP's title and content. This results in the users who posted their responses earlier looking stupid.


Edit: Making the "Edit by" line automatically inserted (instead of leaving it an optional extra) would also help during forum games. Some users cannot resist the temptation of editing their earlier posts, resulting in unwanted disputes arising over which user was the first to post the correct answer.

 

I guess the reasons for doing so are sound. Problem is though, people don't know what part of the post has been edited. We might be able to see that the person's edited their post, but we won't be able to know for sure if they're "plagiarizing" or cheating. 

 

khunfession: besides, I edit my posts like 5000 times. 

 

 

Thoughts?

 

Edit: Clarification, you can still edit posts. It just shows that the post has been edited. 

Like so

I dont like it mainly because I EDIT ALOT, due to typos and adding more thoughts in later on. All it does it make me feel self conscious.

It's also pretty big an annoying 

 

 

 

If you don't want people cheating in forum games, you can easily create a forum rule that won't affect the whole forum.

Why punish us all for a few people? 

Also on the issue of "editing the thread and OP" it wont make earlier comments look stupid, it'll just show the thread OP edited.

i absolutely hate it.

 

i always tend to forget to say something, and then it turns out that over like 90% of my posts are gonna have the edit sign on them now...

 

it's really not cool. i just wish we had the power to remove it or so just cuz it annoys

 

 

not to mention just how ugly looking the Edit Post thing looks like

Not everyone here edit's their post for reasons like that. It is uncalled for to change an entire forum right just because people are abusing it on a specific forum topic. In words similar to what Hamster mentioned , a rule should of been made for that forum instead of having it affect everyone else.

 

Its quite annoying seeing the edit line part. Especially when its not really needed for simple edits. I go back and edit my post when I forget to add an mv, or like when I can't double post so I mention more things that came to my mind.

Same here TT__TT I almost always make grammar and spelling mistakes...  I also tend to omit words that I wanted to type in my posts...

lol from the title of the thread I thought the editing option was actually removed.  Made me worry since I like to edit my posts to clarify or whatever else I need to do with my posts.

I don't mind the little "Edited by..." thing at the bottom.

exactly! also, i tend to add some more thoughts to majority of my posts because i realized after i press the post button that i left something out.

 

really, i get it can come in handy sometimes, but the whole forums shouldn't have to suffer because some people can't play forum games and be mature about thread making sometimes >__>

 

it's a pain to see "edited by ____" everywhere too. it just looks ugly to me and i'm all about visual aesthetics

:lol: I tend to proof read over my posts, but sometimes I'm in a rush to post and don't bother... so I can see how this new feature can be annoying.....

im the type that write whatever im thinking then posts it right away. so i end up having to go back to edit.
