    I am happy to let everyone know that we have now increased the edit time for posts to 5 minutes. I hope this reduces the frustration felt when posting longer posts or correcting typos.

    Thanks for making the change.
    It’ll be interesting to see what affect that this will have.
    As I said in the other thread I think somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes makes sense. So hope that you selecting the shorter time is enough for those that need the edit time,
    That said it’s nice to see positive changes and I hope those using this give you feedback so you can decide if five min is right or if slightly more time is needed,

    I don't think any figure is set in stone right now. But this change is long overdue. I found 3 mins far too short when I was not a Mod.

    Excellent and Thank You Mistress Jules! I have a habit of longer posts so I generally composed and spell checked in WORD then copied and posted to Chastity Mansion. But that is not everyone's cup of tea so Thank You for the thoughtful change I'm sure members will be appreciative! :) :) :) Merry Christmas to all, and if you celebrate other holidays best wishes!

    Any chance we could get a little longer, still? And the ability to delete the post entirely within that time frame? I messed up and double posted in the "hot things your key holder says" thread and spent more than 5 minutes trying to delete one of them. Then I decided I would just edit and add another hot thing my wife has said but it was too late. I can barely operate my computer so maybe I should stick to reading instead of posting!

    Great idea - even though I am sure, that I will always just find a typo after the time has run out (you could change it to years and it still would be like that :p)

    If that happens again just hit the report button and ask for that post to be removed. The Mods are very happy to do this in such a situation.

    So keep on posting please :)

    Limits on how long you can edit a post seem like such an inelegant solution to the issue of dirty deleting of threads by someone mass editing their posts. I can imagine some more elegant solutions. Things like limits on how many times you can edit posts in a short period. Having attempts to blank a post lock the person out from editing posts for a length of time until it can be reviewed. Etc.

    Of course, while those are theoretically ways to stop or slow anyone but the most dedicated, there is no guarantee that tools allowing anything like that exist in any sort of forum software. Hopefully if that is a growing problem that someone will devise a way of combating it.

    I have used the edit facility and increasing the size of the edit window to 15 seems to me to be an excellent idea.

    Yes I do think you should be able to delete your own posts at any time and if yours is the OP then I think the whole thread ought to go with it. I'm sure there are differences of opinion on this. I am also sure that some people will ramble on about lack of continuity of posts are deleted. That's their choice. But I'll stick with thinking folks ought to be able to delete their own posts at any time.

    I have to be honest, I've read your post several times and I can't understand what you're trying to say.

    I do not want to see any deleting of threads in any circumstance. We have the recent example of Mascara Snake. I would hate to see threads by her disappear because there's great material there. People who start threads may not like the way they pan out. That shouldn't give them the right to cull them.

    But as I say, I don't understand your post, so you may not be saying that exactly...

    The current limit on editing is intended to prevent people from functionally deleting threads by blanking their posts. I think there should be a better way to prevent that without disabling the edit feature though I concede the ability to do so might not be available on this or any other forum software.
