Well, lately i have come across times where myself or other people having to double post or even triple (which we all apologize for) because they can't edit their post or they want to quote multiple people.

so i really really think we need a edit button of some sort. it would be so helpful

and the ability to quote multiple people would be epic. i wanted to quote about 5 different people on on thread about music, but i didnt cuz i didnt want to quadruple post and i didnt want to choose just one to quote.

sorry if this has been mentioned before, searched but did not find anything

and i really like this style of forum , and how its integrated into the actual site and not separate, (unlike the free ones you can get or the ones like epic ski has) but i think that it needs some of the features that epic ski has.

as its been said a million times post editing eliminates people's accountability
anyone can post inappropriate content and then when they get called out for all they need to do is go and edit their post to get away with it. Half the fun in NS is people failing anyways

haha not sure I read that correctly but in any case an edit button would result in what I said above
and the problem with multiple quotes is you end up with a huge post that takes up half the page and is messier and harder to read especially if you quote a picture and text or several pictures
just pick one and voice your opinion. Personally I don't care if someone is posting several times to quote different posts its just annoying when it's clear they are post whoring

i agree with the post editing part, but there had to be some sort of way to allow people to fix little thing without them trying to delete what they said, or maybe this isnt possible, i dont know

but i dont think there is anything wrong with multiple quotes. as much as it takes up, the page will still hold 50 posts on it, and i think it takes more room for me to quote 5 people in separate posts that it does in one post. and it will just be said "please try not to quote the actual video or pictures", i mean i usually do that. the only thing quoting is good for is getting the attention of the person you quoted and make a direct statement toward them, i dont need the whole picture to do that, just a blue box with their name. its much more effective than writing what they said in quotes because it doesnt catch their eye

yeah double posts dont bother me at all. what bothers me is when people feel they have to apologize for double posting.

same. i like watching people fuck up, and i've even done it myself a few times.
people should just think before they post, and the way it is now helps to encourage that.

naaaa   3rd option is that you have like 30seconds from your post to edit it. 

edit button will likely........  never happen on NS, its one of the things that makes it NS.

another thing that pisses me off is when people post "pmed" or "i pmed you" in a thread
clearly they know that they have a new pm why everyone else needs to know is beyond me
thanks for post whoring

yeah, i meant editting for other reason, but i agree that people would get rid of the stupid things they said. Like i wanted to make a NSG competition, and it required and the whole contest relied on my ability to edit my original post. i guess its out of the question

i still dont really see a problem with multiple quotes though
