Editing a Post?

[Langy]

Tbh, even if I notice I have made a typo I would rarely go back and edit the post.

If I found that what I had typed really wasn't typed as I had thought it, fingers not working with the brain and it gives the wrong thought, then I would want to edit it.

I'm sure no one wants to offend anyone in here, however I can understand at times things may get heated and in order for the mods to deal with a reported problem they need to know what is there. On the other hand even if things could be edited I would expect that if the Report button is hit them that whole post of not topic should be copied to an area for a mod to view to see how it was at the time of the complaint. They can then deal with it as they see fit.

So in essence if the edit button was available for everyone to start with and the report worked the way I suggested then it wouldn't matter.

Oh and there will always be bad spelling, text talk, sarcasm and someone attempting to be humorous, with that we will all have a different view on the way we take it. If it offends or you dislike it, then just ignore it.

For Robbo AR: When you asked "What the hell do you rant about concerning astronomy.......?"

I gave 2 and said there was a 3rd, just remembered it was the other old one of "Goto or not Goto".

That used to get people going as well.

They all seem to have quietened down recently.

If you think that's bad, you ought to try moderating an angling forum

From the CoC

The Buy & Sell section

Access to SGL's buy and sell section is a privilege that has to be earned, You can do this by accumulating 50 posts to view / buy from the classifieds and 250 posts to place an advert in the classifieds.

Hope that clears it up.

Hi All, I'm just doing my best to get to 50 posts first to see the Buy & Sell section.  I've made a few typos, mainly when I have been used my Kindle Fire with predictive text.  On my laptop at the moment so no excuse....

Can you switch off predictive text on them ?

Kindle Fires have a touch screen keypad so do not really need predictive text.

Be careful you are not seen to be collecting posts just to see the Ads.

Post farming is not seen in a good light......
