Hi JustAskin.
We normally do not give out editing rights to those who have been penalised with inappropriate behavour as it is a feature given in trust. However, I am not sure why you are sporting 2 squares as I didn't give them to you. If they were given in error feel free to PM me.
Hi. Other sites everyone new or not has edit, is there a reason why not here? are people here that 'non trustworthy'.. edit for each post lasts only a few hours or maybe untill they leave for the day. Then the edit feature for that post has gone.
Also can I please have edit?
Correct. Some are not trustworthy.
Everyone had editing rights once, but one member went through and substantially changed his/her posts and rendered the conversations that he/she was involved in hard to follow and wasted the time of all who posted in those topics. Another member when he/she realised that he/she was losing an argument, changed previous posts on that point, instead of being honest and saying that he/she was wrong. That way it would have been a great lesson for others to learn, but the editing option coupled with pride seems too tempting for some.
My philosophy is “if it can go wrong it will”. That is not negative but a real statement when you are the one who has to fix up other people's abuses. So this is why it is given on a case by case basis when people ask for it.
Normally to get editing rights, you have to have a history here and no penalties or abusive posts, and you have to request it. You also have to be in the members group and if you get editing rights, you then go into the regular members group. Even then, it is still risky to do this because it only takes one person.
I know that some get rather heated in their discussions at times, and in those times, people can do things that they shouldn't do. e.g, deleting all the contents of their previous posts is possible with editing rights.
Now if this was just a social forum then it wouldn't matter too much. But the topics here are important, and deception and deletions are a lot less welcome. Topics are usually structured like debates, so if one member gets up to mischief, then it can ruin a whole topic. And there is a lot for people to learn here and I don't want that jeopardised in any way.
To conclude, this board is about testing that which is true against that which is not. The topics are a lot more serious than a social forum and therefore the content needs greater protection.

The edit feature doesn't have that delay you are talking of. Would be nice though. Yes I have given you editing rights.Hi. Thanks.
Sorry I was just wondering I wasnt sure how it worked here. You can trust me with edit you have my word, I'l only use it if I need to and only if needed on the most recent post. Its just safer to know its there thats all I understand what your saying and why its like that.
We can Edit our posts? How do we do that?
I make to many typos and grammer mistakes that i only realize after i post.How do i obtain editing rights?

maybe you can added, a automatic spell checker or something.or a list of grievances of the user who is chaning things.
like for example at work when i want to change a number in the inventory that i already submitted, It gets a STAR * by what i changed.
than i have to tell them why i changed it.
maybe it should be the post
POST: adfjas*1klfjalsjflaskdj
lafjaslkdjf a alkjdafjlskd *2asklfjslk———————
1: Grammer issue
2: Spelling errorMaybe that would help control the debates better.
At least thats what im going to start doing.
t8 Since We have a new users name, I again would appreciate if you can give me the editing rights we so very much enjoyed….Sometimes I forget things and that makes it nice to add onto that post. Also at times I forget to check the spelling and it is good to have editing rights….I would appreciate it and thank you for all the work you do here ….Irene
T8………..Adam contacted me and said you stopped his Posting rights is that correct? If so Why? He added many thought provoking questions hear brother.
peace and love to you and yours……………………………………gene
T8………….Adam contacted me and ask if he could get his posting rights back, can you help in this matter.
peace and love to you and yours……………………………………………………gene
Hi Gene,
I believe Adam was moved to the Skeptics section because he doesn't truly believe the scriptures are the inspired words of God. As far as I know, he can still post – just not in the Believer's section.

Are you the one dealing with the complaints?I don't admire you at all…very sad, as sad as the old birth right belief…. the public should be notified about coming here. An being discriminated against.
Charity, the Forum has two sections. Believers and Skeptics. This is to stop Skeptics attacking all the subjects that Believers want to discuss. And all can join in the Skeptics Area and be as skeptical as they want. So know one is being barred from posting what they want, except those who abuse others or other like behaviour.
We cater for all and we have sections to keep discussions as relevant and as deep as they can get. If we opt for all can post anywhere attitude which is how it use to be, then it ends up that Skeptics just attack all discussions and turn them into a God exist or doesn't exist topic. In that scenario, we might as well have one topic and all can post what ever they want in there.
So no need to be offended. There is a structure in place to help discussions stay on their intended subject.
