There are new time limits for thread starters a posts.

Makes people think before they post, because after a while you dont get to take back what you said, in total or otherwise.

Who came up with that idea?? Punish the whole because of the acts of a few? Thats a Ridiculous idea IMO.

Who is going to police me in the real world if I say something in a run on sentence or with bad grammar FTW!

What if create a post asking a question? Then i get my answer and want to delete my post after "time expires"?


In order to get around the "think before you post" idea. You could just keep creating "Registered" usernames and posting from behind several proxies. Now this would/does create a problem for the community and the mods...just sayin'


Sorry for the rant...:bsflag:

There is no edit button or thread tools on posts that are deemed "old". I can edit this thread but not ones that are say over a week old?

RG, go back to one of your posts thats older and check it out for yourself:kiss:

No problem. I rant too.

The time isnt instant. You have tons of time to spellcheck and add periods.
