The Edit Button

I've been tossing and turning tonight.
Edit buttons are keeping me from sleeping. They drift through my dreams, seemingly mockingly, as I am prone to hit an extra button or two in my haste to call people retarded..... yet with my typos I look like the retarded one.
Yet, I came to an epiphany tonight.
Edit Button:
All users are able to edit their posts at any time..... until someone directly replies to that post.
Or, if that isn't enough, the post is editable until someone else posts in that thread.
So, this will prevent Trolls from changing posts to save face, yet, give people with fat fingers and little patience to proof read the ability to fix some stuff up if they catch it after posting.
Come my friends, gather around the fire and hold hands. Lets discuss this.

As well as calling back something you shouldn't have said.
or something that’s poorly stated and could be misinterpreted.

If you need an edit button that bad,
only comment in the form of fanposts like all the new people do. You can edit a fanpost or fanshot all you want. You can even delete it entirely if you are angered by the comments you receive.

Proper spelling, grammar, and syntax
are grossly overrated. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a moran.

Yep
There’s nothing like bad syntax for really getting a point across.

I'd rec this more than once if I could. But I can't, so I ain't.
But yeah, we need more retired high school English teachers around here, or college English majors. Especially those with specific pet peeve to club us all with! Those are the best!

Just think...if we had an edit button, maybe some of Ca1IFORNIA ANGELS posts
would be intelligent (not that I disagree with any of them)

preview button
I am not a fan of editing anything I do and because of this I receive bad marks on essays I turn in. But maybe revising a post by hitting the preview button would be a good idea. Then again I’m too lazy to do that.

I always preview...
hence, an edit button is not needed. Plus, it provides a second to think about what you wrote and how it might affect the community.

if so, will your posts improve over the second half?

i doubt my posts will increase significantly in the second half
But hopefully by next season, they will be amazing and thought provoking.
