Scott Langhoff, mentioned this in another post, did a quick search, some posts have it, some not.

looks like all the edit buttons are gone, at least on new posts

This one doesn't either...perhaps it's an experiment?

No editing...now THAT will be entertaining!

Ian

...and create more posts in case you forget something.

For the record I DO know how to spell, bit I don't type well.

Maybe we'll think a little harder and double-check our content to see if it can be misinterpreted before posting.
Personally, I nevir maque misteaks.

Yes, editing has been temporarily disabled due to some people posting comments they shouldn't then editing them away when things hit the fan. I have mentioned previously that if I was seeing enough instances of that happening I would turn editing off. I will leave it off for a while and then perhaps re-enable it if I think people are able to post in a more responsible manner.

Why not just leave it off permanently, Nigel? I can do without.

Cool!

...when hell freezes over????

Sorry, Nigel, but censorship is an almost impossible quest when it comes to forums.
And if a blanket withdrawal of the editing facility is imposed, you criminalize ALL of us.
Just my 2 cents.

So be it, then...

Removal of editing is not criminalizing anyone. It was simply a privelege I had provided that I have now had to withdraw. It doesn't limit anyones ability to post what they want. They simply can't withdraw something that they willingly posted. It may make people think a little more carefully about what they do post.

And hey I really didn't want to have to turn editing off. I have been left no choice. If it hadn't been abused I wouldn't have to. Certain people misused it knowing that I would do this in response. Eddie I can understand that you feel it's not fair and I agree with you 100%. It isn't fair that the actions of a few affect all of us on the forum. But it is the misuse of editing that isn't fair not that I was forced to respond by disabling it. I don't have any better option?

Ditto!

I was always in favor of the backspace key instead of Delete or Edit buttons. The old saying "Look before you leap" really rings true when you hit the SUBMIT REPLY button.

Thanks Nigel,

This post has not been edited.
None of my posts have EVER been edited.
I was moderator of the Technics Forum for two or three years and the only posts of mine there that were edited were done by Nigel and I agree that he was always right,
just as he is in this instance.
Grow up everybody, you are adults now.
Nigel has to do what he is forced to do to keep piece amongst you
Bebop

Really??

Never say never some say.....

Happy Playing & Posting.

To be fair I think Bebop was referring to a total deletion of a post, as opposed to editing for grammar/spelling..On that note, and I don't know if this is possible, but perhaps Nigel can set it up so that the contents of a post can be edited without actually deleting it?? I know sometimes I edit a post because of a mispelling, or placement in syntax which can totally change the intention of the post, and THAT can then cause problems that can be avoided if editing was permitted..All I am talking about is simple mistakes, and not the ability to remove "flamers".

This was the reason I reacted to the removal of 'edit' primarily.
I, unfortunately, am not one of those superhumans who never make mistakes.

It don't matter anymore, but both deleting and editing
posts was done several times during Bebop's time as
moderator at Technics Zone.
Bepop know, Nigel know, members know, so why say he
never done so, I can't understand.

I've edited my posts many times due to misspeling and
wrong composed lines who could be misunderstood.
I guess that part would be far less if I could write
in my native language

Myself I think it is ok that delete and editing are
diabled, if misspell or wrong written we can always do
a new post further down the topic.

Happy Playing & Poting.

It's an impossible task for Nigel to police these forums. Nigel, why don't you just leave the board open and communication free. If people want to fight with each other or insult each other or call each other names, let them do so. I think the problem will take care of itself in the long run.

Disabling edits or banning agitators is just such a maintenance and policing nightmare.

Al, you are right, it would take care of itself. Within two months, the only ones left would be the ones who enjoy arguing! It almost got to the point before.

Absolutely correct bkr.

Censorship because of p.c. is a waste of energy.

Nigel,

It is your forum, do with it as you please with my blessing.

To those who don't know what censorship is I'll tell you what it isn't. Removing the edit button is NOT censorship. You may still post stupid and useless comments as before. Now you might have to think before doing so. For some this will be a first.

Thanks Nigel,

Tom

You really don't need an Edit feature if you can read this "I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

Amzanig, I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd ervey wrod.

Yes, me too, but let's not make this become a habit, ok?

Funny, and I don't need edit too, but I would like to have PREVIEW if that is possible on the software Nigel is using.
