im sure this has been brought up before. but i think the ability to edit your posts would be a great thing. you can have a thing that says this post has been edited 1 time(and so on). i say this mainly for the reason of spelling/grammar errors and errors with links,photos and pictures. it gets tiresome looking at threads with broken links and fucked up embed codes.

something that is in the same realm is multiple post qouting.

seeing someone fail to get an embed code correct and post it 3 to 5 times is really a pain in the ass. and this is something that shouldnt flood threads.

this. imagine if faunt could have been edited to font. it honestly adds to some crazy epicness. as nice as being able to fix something when you fail at embedding 3 times or something i say nay

hahaha thats exactly what im talking about.

and this isnt just for me haha. i preview shit almost always. it just bugs the hell out of me looking at a page and seeing some code copied a few times because it wont embed right. or clicking a broken link and the OP not being able to fix it.

I 100% agree. Every other modern forum has this. Just put a link so that you can see previous edits.

I remember hearing from an older user that there use to be editing allowed, but i think he said that scammers abused it too much so they had to take it away.

Now if this was like Teton, with a bunch of responsible adults (not that Teton is better or worse than NS, or vise versa, i just using a comparison) editing would be allowed to make post's less cluterd, by saying SOLD in the original posts, that i would find SO HELPFUL, because to this date, i know people that pm me or several of my friends on here about sales from atleast a year and half ago, asking "Do you still have your jesters? because i NEED UM!!!!" when it clearly says, JESTERS sold Mid way through the sale.

That would be the only thing i could see as a practical use for editing posts (other then grammar and shit, because we all make mistakes, im sure there is atleast 5 in my post right here)

My two cents

Not necessarily, its more the spam thing that we have on here preventing spam. Everyone double clicks "submit" on accident and it thinks were spaming, so we wait the 15 seconds or so and post it again, atleast, thats how my double posts occur.

I think this thread is more aimed at editing, more than deleting.
