It would be nice if we could edit our messages (posts). At the moment we have to delete the original post and start again. That is a pain. I can understand why we can't edit once someone else has commented, but if it's my post and there are no comments or the only comments are mine, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to edit it.
then I don't see why we shouldn't be able to edit it. - Isha (Marysia)
This has been a request for a while. Personally, I think regardless of who has commented, we should be able to edit. If commenters are allowed to edit and delete any of their comments as they please, then the person writing the message should, too. - Mattie Kenny
But people can edit/delete their comments whenever they'd like even if it refers to another comment. I've had a situation where someone deleted all of their comments, so any made by me referring to that person's comments made no sense. It doesn't matter. Either we should be able to edit whatever we'd like or nothing at all. It's silly to not let us edit our messages. - Mattie Kenny
Big deal, someone referenced a typo or a miscommunication in your message and then you edited it out. If someone's going to abuse the edit function, then they're probably a troll and you shouldn't follow them. Being able to edit things is not unfair to anyone. - Mattie Kenny
I agree Mattie. That's why I removed the comments when I suddenly realised that. We're demonstrating the whole thing in realtime - cool! - Isha (Marysia)
PS I just deleted the comments you referred to. - Isha (Marysia)
hahaha. It's cool. - Mattie Kenny
However how do you determine what is a sufficient edit (typo) vs what changes the nature of the post which would then render the comments irrelevant? - sofarsoShawn
It doesn't matter. You should be able to edit whatever/however you like. If someone actually abuses that option, they're probably a troll. That distinction is up to each of us. This going into a meta conversation that isn't necessary. We should be able to edit our posts. Period. - Mattie Kenny
I also suggested this recently in this forum. Hopefully they'll consider implementing it. - Internet Strategist
YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! cuz i sux at typiisng correctly!! - Susan Beebe
