Should you be able to delete/edit posts or comments from RallyPoint?

2013-11-15T12:24:45-05:00

For whatever reasons, typos, errors, rants, venting, sometimes you may want to go back and either edit or even delete one of your posts or comments but are unable to do so.  I would like to see this capability on Rally Point, if not to just correct spelling errors.

a RESOUNDING yes! While I generally am not overly concerned with a minor typographical error in a casual setting. Sometimes I suffer from a gigantic brain fart, and don't realize it until after I have posted.

I think there should be a limited time editing option, say 5 minutes. That is utilized on a lot of forums.

It'd have to have some sort of control over it.  Otherwise someone could have a post like "America is awesome!" which gets 75 likes, and then the individual changes it to "Puppies are stupid!" and then the 75 people immediately regret their deicision to vote on the comment because they do not, in fact, believe puppies to be stupid.

Well editing and deleting my own yes.  Anyone else's no.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion here and I think when everyone responds both sides and various factors can be read up on, unbiased.

I would love to edit my own postings or endorsements.

Yes absolutely. I am a bit ham handed with the keyboard and have managed to post an incomplete thought or two.

Agree. The ability to edit/correct personal remarks, or an edit period, would be great.

I have had my posts deleted before, I made a comment that one of the admin members didn't like (it was a fair and tactfull personal assessment of a thread). When the admin member replied in a snide tone I simply called "no joy" (save the drama for someone else). To me it seemed he was looking for a fight. After calling him out about his "roid rage"(this phrase was not used) all of my posts dissapeared.

Just to clarify, this post was written before this was an option on RP. Being able to do that now is a result of this post. This post is a year old.

It is somewhat sad that it has taken me a year to come around to this discussion SSG Robert Burns - I thought I was doing a better job than that .....

Yes but only the original person who wrote their post can edit their own post.

I concur. Having made my first starting thread with a glaring typo.

Has anything ever come of this recommendation. It seems that a number of social media-type sites have an edit or delete option, sometimes both. Should be pretty easy to add to a site as sophisticated as Rally Point..

I would appreciate that capability, but have found that most reasonable RPers understand and are able to discern typos and autocorrect issues.

I think it depends on what platform you use to interface with RP. I can edit on my PC at home. I have an annoying habit of almost always incorrectly interchanging "their," "there," and they're." I proof read before hitting respond but usually miss some small stuff.

Rally point and all deletion are done for the comfort of the man. The memory of the rally and https://clubessay.com/buy-custom-essay for the fits. The volume is rushed for the entitlement for the turns for aliased items for humans.
