Thank you kimmy,
YOu are always so polite and welcoming when you post I appreciate that really I do.
I still think a 24 hour window would be better than 12.
just my opinion....

(((((((( bizi )))))))) thank you.

How about we sit with this for a few months, then revisit it as we did the unlimited editing time? We might find that it's not such a big deal, then again we might think, "Whew, this could really use a change!"

We're always open to working what we can, while ensuring the forums run as smoothly as possible.

BTW, I think your posting is polite as well, and there's a warmth present in your posting.

Default Hi KimmyDawn and Mari.

Kimmy: I could go for THAT - very sensible. emmm, but... any chance we could do do this "test-drive" directly with the 24-hr time limit that bizi proposed? .... if 24 sounds hours is too much, ehhh... howabout 23:95 ooops lol i mean, 23:59? lol. anyway thanks.

Now, if we do a trial run with restricted editing... a poll would follow, right? (say yes, yes yes?)

Mari: re voting ... i do think voting would produce a flagrantly flying "i want unlimited editing," at least for now, it seems the fastest easiest way to stop a bad forum problem. DocJohn explains in this forum feedback thread:

It was creating very difficult and time consuming moderation situations where a post was reported for an issue, but then changed or removed by the original poster to make it look like there was no issue. Or a moderator would go in and remove something inconsistent with our community guidelines, only to find the poster goes back and changes it back later on. And so on. The Community Team can't do their job here if the floor keeps moving under their feet.

When some members abuse the privilege, we have to take action to stop threads from becoming nonsensical or inconsistent with the community guidelines. An online thread is a conversation or a discussion that occurs at a specific time in a specific place. [...]
See. we all pay for the misbehaviour of a a few. But since the problem is an insidious one, an umbrella-policy seems the only immediate resolution. Basically because admin/mods are NOT 12-eyed polyps with a couple hundred tentacles (lol). they each have two eyes and two hands.

Fwiw, last night i wrote a bunch to a member of the support team, about how we might be able to automate some of the work involved to maintain a "clean" forum" in a way that wouldn't need to affect our edit time. ... my idea DOES requires technical verification, and then some TIME to implement, but it could eventually be adopted instead of the limited trial run, if that doesn't fly. I have not heard back on this yet - whether it is possible even - but i just wanted to share that i see other possibilities... but rome wasn't built in a day, and meanwhile we at least need a tent, a lean-to, a run-for-cover.

Take care.

Yeah, well what I meant to say was that this is crummy for many of us.
But I went and and edited "crummy" and wrote some junk instead about wishing I had a say in this.


People come to these boards for different needs and with different abilities to discuss themselves/expectations/concerns.

Mari.
This is a very broad perspective, and a good point to consider especially given this is not just any old forum it's for people who have serious and/or disabling illnesses and issues.

Don't be too disheartened. I really think these issues can subsequently be addressed in a different way that would make it easier on everyone, and restore unlimited edits. I don't know the specifics, Mari, names and places and what, but i do get the sense this is a "needed it yesterday" type action, hence the "here's-the-deal and so shall it be" approach. I hope i am correctly interpreting the intent and actions of the powers that be here.

But i'm getting your feeling upset about not having input part. really. you are not alone. no way.

Thanks for the extra thanks, Curious!

gosh you so cracked me up with the see-saw. Out to play indeed. Soooo... wanna see me play hardball?

Naaah... ever since i got hit square on the cheekbone with a SOFTball and became allergic to THAT game, i don't think i'd go near anything called "hardball," game or otherwise!
