I think we should put back the EDIT your own post button so we can fix mistakes and the delete your own post button just incase we double posted. This would help the admins and moderators alot.

I agree that the delete button should be put back, but the edit button is possible to be abused. However, deleting your own posts means that you lose MORE hosting credits that you recieved.

I've been meaning to suggest this for a long time, but you beat me to it!

I agree, the edit button should be put back because sometimes, even after checking your own post, there is somehow a spelling error, grammatical error, or any other errors that are unfixed.

Or when you read your own post after posting, you realized that you didn't make a good point or explain your problem clearly, but you can't go back and edit because the edit button is not there.

Dooga, how can editing your own post be an abuse?

I'm not Dooga, but I think I can answer that for you:
I think someone on one of the forums (Possibly NilsC or OpaQue, maybe someone else) said that some people abused the edit button byediting posts so they could increase their hosting credits. That's why it was removed.

The edit button gets abused like this:

1. A member makes a HUGE post consisting a a huge chunk of text that copied from a site.

2. The credit system gives him 10 credits for this huge post.

3. problem is, this post is completely irrelevant to the topic.

4. but with the edit button, the member can then remove the post after he's got his credits.

If everyone did this, then trap17 would be dommed.

so this is really for the security of trap17and it's members. The moderators and admins know that mistakes fo happen, so we usually don't penalize you for double posting unless it's something that happens all the time.

Hmm..I was close. I can understand why it was removed. It can be annoying, though. I hate it when a few people abuse a priviledge, then it gets taken away. That's life, though. I usually try to check what I type before I send it, but sometimes, but we all miss our mistakes, and send something that doesn't sound right...

we all would have wanted to give every member the fullest control on the forum, but because a select few have abused this privilldge, the edit button has to be taken down

Ok IC. I've been wondering why there's no edit button and didn't have ask for it so far. My posts have many spelling error which I really wanted to edit them. I could never imagine that edit button could be abused. If that's the case I agree with you pulling down the button. Thanks for the info.

When I first joined and started posting, I too wondered why there wasn't an EDIT button. Now that I hear about people abusing the feature, I now understand why.
I make some mistakes every now and then, but I usually don't worry about it as long as people can understand the general gist of my post.

Whenever your post gets deleted, in this case, you are penalized with reduction in credits. To avoid this issue in the future, please use the PREVIEW POST next to ADD REPLY button. You can review the layout and test out all links in working condition before you submit for finalization.

Thank you.

I will tell you why the Edit button was removed.
..........
Double posting, althought not a serious issue, can be prevented. If you find that you made a mistake in your post, simply report your own post to an admin or moderator and explain your position. We will be glad to fix everything for you without giving you a warning. smile.gif

Hi

I post yesterday for first time. My posting had URLs. When I posted it, I found that the URLs didn't work. So I tried to find Edit button to edit it . I couldn't find Edit button and the help show titles without moving to details when i click on subtitel.

When I couldn't find solution I copied the message in new message , correct what I want and posted agin. it took the next serial number. i.e#20 and #21 were the same.

I report the matter to remove #20 as u suggested .

After minutes, #20 was remove as I wished, but my creidits become -13.30 instead of +10.

I penalised by reduction 18.30 instead of subtracting 5 from 10 .

the nearly double pages were only for 5-8 minutes and I reported it bymeslf to remove one.

How and where I ask to fix the matter.


With my regards

Kasm

    good free ones out there, and I think it would be amazing. Think of how we would think of other
    members? Joining would be optional. It would iclude the top 10 and baners for them in a nice little

    hi i was just wondering if you could maybe add an 'edit' button to the bottom of each post.
    this would be useful, as just recently i was posting in the warcraft III topic in the gaming/rts
    subforum and i forgot to say something and so had to post twice. maybe just make it so that if
    someone has already posted after your post it is uneditable, but until that happens you are free to
    change it. thanks for considering! /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'

    something again to fix it, and I'm sure many other users are having the same problems. I'm
    sure having the ability to edit one's posts will greatly reduce spam and overposting. I can see
    no real reason why we -shouldn't- have editing permissions, since it's not likely to cause
    any turmoil or chaos. So my question is, why not? Please don't flame me for makin....
