Change to Edit Timing
We are making a change right now to the edit policy of the site. Posts now can be edited up to 30 minutes after being posted, rather than forever.
This change is meant to make moderating easier so only new posts have to be focused on. I realize this might play havoc with some ways that the forums are used, so please feel free to mention those here so we are at least aware of them.

Re: Change to Edit Timing
Some other websites put the edit timer up to seven days after the post. Why not do that? Feel like it could work with what you're doing and still give everyone enough editing time.

Re: Change to Edit Timing
Well, that’ll throw a massive wrench into sign-in tournaments like the one going on right now, given how those tend to have their original post edited constantly to reflect the actual events of said tournament.I realize this might play havoc with some ways that the forums are used, so please feel free to mention those here so we are at least aware of them.

Re: Change to Edit Timing
At least with that, you can ask an admin or moderator to edit in the stuff you need edited, especially if they are partaking in or close to the tournament. Otherwise, best to copy and paste in for new posts, and then alter whatever is needed in that moment.GodzillavsRayquaza wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 10:52 amWell, that’ll throw a massive wrench into sign-in tournaments like the one going on right now, given how those tend to have their original post edited constantly to reflect the actual events of said tournament.I realize this might play havoc with some ways that the forums are used, so please feel free to mention those here so we are at least aware of them.

Re: Change to Edit Timing
I think there's better solutions here. Many people including myself, find themselves re-editing posts hours or even days later.

So we have 30 minutes to edit posts?
Better solutions are needed. But honestly I don't see it changing so *shrug*

Re: Change to Edit Timing
Similarly, sign-in fanfics and RPGs are going to be impacted much the same. The same goes for any thread about fan projects where the original post is used to give easily accessible updates (Godzilla Daikaiju Battle Royale video game, Fan Restorations and Fan Cuts, Fanfiction with multiple chapters…)GodzillavsRayquaza wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 10:52 amWell, that’ll throw a massive wrench into sign-in tournaments like the one going on right now, given how those tend to have their original post edited constantly to reflect the actual events of said tournament.I realize this might play havoc with some ways that the forums are used, so please feel free to mention those here so we are at least aware of them.
If possible, it might be a good idea to make original thread posts only exempted from that rule. I can’t think of a lot of problems a time limit would cause otherwise.
Edit: Oh, and polls that are constantly updated for each new movie that’s released comes to mind, like in the MCU thread.

Try harder. We are the consumers of this product called TK and we demand resolve. Get off your lazy asses and do something about it. Or do we have to do your job for you.. I'd like to speak to the person in charge.
JK, just wanted to try my Karen impersonation.

Re: Change to Edit Timing
Speaking honestly, I understand your concerns everyone and will personally edit ANY post that needs to be edited after the time limit if it means avoiding the shit we've been forced to see

I honestly don't envy you guys, shit like this is rough to deal with.
The 30 min. cap sucks, but now that sleeper agents are apparently a thing, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Well that explains why I couldn't go back and edit a terrible spelling mistake on one of my posts an hour after I posted it...

Re: Change to Edit Timing
Maybe you don't, but there are people who care about their grammar/spelling. It isn't the end of the world or anything, but it does bug me a little when I can't fix a dumb typo I made. I'll just annoy Gira to get him to fix it if I notice one 31 minutes after I post.
He waited until one of his alts had the restrictions lifted.

Re: Change to Edit Timing
Honestly, i say try to see any other accounts that have been silent for a while and try to decipher maybe if it's him or not. Delete them after that and.. i dunno, maybe he'll be gone for good? I mean, the thing we have in place now already held him useless for months lolSoggyNoodles2016 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 4:25 pm Just yesterday.
