Thumbs down Why can we no longer edit posts?

It seems like within just a few hours of posting a thread/comment, you can no longer edit your post. I've wanted to update the F.A.Q. for a while now but have been unable to do so.

I realize this has been around for a while now, but what changed with the forum rules? And why?

Something to do with Daybreak. At least that's what some guides implied. They cannot or will not be more specific. It's pretty annoying. I could get over it if they would just make an exception for the EC tunnel forum.

Yeah it's hurt the trading forum. I had a couple people send me tells in game that they had an item I no longer needed. Told them to go to a certain page to see that I no longer needed it. I guess I'll just have to say every time I bump that i already have certain items. less edits = more spam

the only case I see where removing edits is good, is if people are removing valuable information. You can see the date when someone edits a post, If someone tried to edit their post to cover up being a prick people will see that.

This is the part that kills me. The staff provides this forum (not to mention our wonderful emulator servers) out of the goodness of their heart, and they have every right to change anything they want about it ...

... but would it kill them to just give us a simple one or two sentence explanation of why editing was disabled? Like an example of how it was mis-used, or a potential scenario that could happen if it editing was possible, or something.

#BehindTheScenes

P99 staff does what it wants, when it wants. Doesn't announce it if they don't want to & most of all doesn't take crap from people who aren't their friends.

Edit: This one of the things I find unprofessional, It needs to be addressed properly by the staff in a professional manor. Not behind the scenes, not posted a week or two later by a staff member in an unrelated thread, not on sirkens stream, etc.. Post it in the bloody announcements sections of the forums. Berating me for posting this won't help either.

My guess is so they don't have to go back and review posts that were already reviewed since they could be changed to have unfavorable content.

If there is no edit though there should be the ability to delete your post.

I still don't understand not being able to edit the EC tunnel section of website when you can still edit the bugs section.

I agree. Bring back EC Tunnel thread editing, or at least let us know that the change was intentional, permanent, and is not going to be rolled back!

Still getting people contacting me from old tunnel threads - keep having to say "sorry, it's gone... months ago"
