Quote: Maybe someone suggested it already, but I think the following approach to comment editing is quite nice:
At another forum where I tend to spend some time it is possible to edit posts for a few minutes after posting it, and then the edit button becomes inaccessible. Maybe that would work pretty well for comment editing. It allows you to fix errors that you discover at once, like those silly typos and whatever, but you still can't go back and "change history" and mess up discussions. (I am thinking mainly of comments now, and not about forum posts.)
Quoting my first comment from this very thread:
"Considering editing the comments, what about enabling editing for a short timespan (in case of ninja fixing typos/grammar errors)..."
Indeed, it is a quite common practice on several forum engines, it works well, and I'd be more than willing to implement it if I'd have access to the codebase. I'd bet it could be done in less than an hour. |

well, i personally absolutely dislike that i cannot edit my comments anymore. so i almost stopped commenting (i will probably comment here and there still, but much less). simple as that... maybe it works better for others this way. thats something i can accept without too much complaining.
i just hope that it will not lead to less comments, as others may think the same way.
one suggestion: what about doing it the facebook way? there you can edit your comments, but also see the history of the editing, if you click the "edited" textlink.
dunno if someone else has suggested that already, as tbh i didnt want to read 100+ comments here :-)
btw. i have edited this text for 3 times now :D
edit number 4, 5 and 6...: some ppl dont speak a very good english (just as me, as that is not my first language)... so sometimes you say something which you didnt want to say (using the wrong words) which make some completely different sense. so when i notice that after posting, i really want to have the option of editing my text!
edit number 7: a question which comes to my mind... can i edit or not edit a trivia or production note still? :D i don't really wanna try lol |

Absolutely agreeing with Yazoo.
I just wrote a comment and after it was thinking of a better way to say it, but it was too late.
I also like to edit stuff after I wrote it sometimes, because when you read it, it appears different than it did in your mind and you get new impulses.
Imho the best way would be to just enable it again. |

I didn't follow the discussion but I'd like to comment on Shinobi's post:
You can re-read and edit what you post before you actually press the submit button and there's also the preview button... |

Reading this thread ofcourse made me enlightened in several ways, but...
Please! Let us have comments Edit-possibilities again. Its rather ridiculous reading ones posted spelling-mistakes, repetitions in thought/technical issues and grammar out the sprout and not being able to handle it later. Language at its best is poetry and should flow, not stalk.
I can understand the withdrawal from those seeing this as a grown-ups playground. Most of them being suspended from further notice at this point, but does really the rest have to suffer? Moderators are quick enough to clean up the space as if nothing happened (I must admit, I have had several reason to withdraw some of my comments and refine others myself, sometimes to the verge of those cosmetic turnabouts not desired - simply adding more makeup).
But for example, whilst writing a production-note for ones own release, or even answering in the public for years to come, re-reading it a few days later.. It feels downright terrible not to be able to adjust it accordingly afterwards. Is there a way to submit wished changes for the mods? |

The moderators don't have the ability to edit comments, we can only censor or disable the ability to add comments on an entry. |
