From eheath in another thread -

“We changed it so you can only edit for a short period after you post, the ability for anyone to edit their posts was implemented when we had BST in the forums, now that its not in the forums, we decided to revert back to the classic NS forums.”

Super lame not being able to edit posts anytime, and not being able to delete your own posts either. Why?

Whys that? You ashamed of something you wrote? Maybe consider that before posting now

Jesus you're defensive. Maybe time to think about moving on from being a mod? All I ever see you do is throw negativity around and be needlessly snappy and argumentative.

No, it is because it is nice to be able to add something later, or a photo, or revise something you realize you didn't do a good job of explaining the first time. Funny this is lost on you...a mod.

I'm only on a few forums but I've never not been able to edit posts, or delete posts entirely. I don't think anyone here would disagree with me.

lol bro you take the internet way too seriously. NS used to never have the ability to edit posts, I'm assuming you didn't read bgillis comment, but we only added editing for BST, it was never meant to be implemented across the site. Now that BST isnt in the forums, we changed it back. If you need something changed you can PM a mod.

Look man, its a pretty small feature that we changed because we know NS will be better if you can't edit your posts. There are legendary posts that were made because people couldn't edit a mistake, its at the root of the NS culture, this isn't reddit, nobody cares if you post a photo later in a thread or add thoughts after the body or make a spelling error, NS is different.

Also, trolls/shitposts have been abusing the system so you can blame them if you want, but we would've reverted to the original system regardless.
