Just wondering: is there a statute of limitations on editing one's posts in the iMore comment section of the news pages? I cannot edit a comment from a few days ago, but the one I just posted still has the edit option.
Thanks!
Thanks!
You don't want someone to be able to go back days later (possibly after significant discussion) and materially change (or possibly delete) their post. It skews the reading of the thread.
If posters have additional information to add at a later date, they should just add a post to the thread.
Once you post to a public forum, you don't "control" the post. If you want to "control what [you] post forever", then perhaps a personal blog or website is the correct avenue for that.
Editing a post long after the conversation has continued modifies the meaning of thread. If it happens to be a thread that you started, you can always ask a moderator to close the thread.
Blog comment posts get date/time stamped when posted/modified... So one could notice a time/date stamp that is significantly out of sequence...
