There has been some discussion on here in the past (2010 according to search), where the topic of allowing the members to have permanent edit facility was discussed. At the time I believe the decision was that it should be limited to 15 min because of the potential for malicious behaviour of perhaps a disgruntled member.
Is there any evidence to suggest that this actually happens in reality. There are numerous sites out there that have permanent edit facility without any problems.
LCCSA, which is a much busier and more proactive site than this with many more members, has a permanent edit facility and there has been no foul-play in the years its been running.
Let us assume for one moment, that someone actually does delete some, or indeed all of their posts on here for a reason, malice aforethought or otherwise...so what? Hardly going to bring the site down now is it?
"It would be unfair " has also been mooted... to whom may I ask? In what way unfair?
Should we really be expected to appeal to admin and seek permission to edit a post? After-all, we aren't at school anymore.
Perhaps the reality is somewhat more sinister in that some just want to excercise complete control of content and editorial?
Isn't it now time for a review of this policy within ELCOC?
