There are some shady sellers going back and deleting posts, and it sucks. My opinion, maybe 4 hours for posts in the for sale section, and longer in other sections?
Maybe no limit in the tech sections as my guess is this isn't a problem there?
Most of the times I've seen this has been with sale threads. Maybe just implement it in the for sale section?
I like someone else's idea up top. Let people edit the posts all they want, but also be able to click a button and their edits pop up in a different color. After a few days though. Give people a couple days to come to their senses.
Quoted from robin:So to summarise, allowing posts edits for unlimited time is a bad idea. It seems that many forum software developers agree as this is a standard in most other software, apart from Pinside.
I think that is a good idea, except in the for sale section. In the for sale section, you shouldn't be allowed to edit at all.
Quoted from gweempose:Robin's proposed editing rules would allow you to edit the first post in a thread indefinitely.
There is a reason for it. There are sellers here who are manipulating people by changing their for sale ads after the fact.
Quoted from cfh:This is called extreme micro managing and there's no reason for it. Lack of editing is would be enough to drive me away.
It's not as rare as you think, it's happening a lot.
Quoted from cfh:So you're changing policy based on some very rare occurrences? so we all have to suffer because of this? REALLY? think about this a bit.
I agree with you. Users who are pulling this kind of garbage should be either suspended or banned. IMO, people trolling threads is one thing, but when you are not an honest seller, that is 100 times worse.
I still think for sale posts should be locked from editing.
Quoted from cfh:a far better approach is to reprimand the rare individuals that do bad things. or remove their IDs. but don't make everyone suffer for small stupid stuff.
