Thanks for all your input via this thread and PM's.
I did say we would allow unlimited editing of sales posts. Unfortunately, Soj informs me that we can't do that because with vBulletin
it is a "blanket approach". i.e. Can't single out one sub-forum for special editing treatment.
I also said previously that we were leaning towards a 15 to 30 minute window for editing posts. Someone who I have a great deal of
respect for (and who has been running a successful forum in the US for many years) said the following to me when I asked her opinion:
"I always say that in real life you cannot unsay your words and neither should you in a forum".
But I think a small window to allow for some editing of grammar and content is ok.
So here's the deal:
- 20 minute editing window effective now
- If anyone needs sales threads edited, I'm happy to do it manually for you (as many times as you want).
- If there is an exceptional circumstance, I'm always willing to listen.
Finally, nothing is set in stone. Let's see how this goes.
