Err... What makes you think everyone would do this option? "If it's for Ap, who cares if its bad or not?" is what's always in their minds. I for one would use an edit option; and the flag option is for offenses, not corrections.
I think it would be easier if us users used the flag option..and then they later on in the forum correct there mistake.
Do you mean to flag your own post? How about this? Edit your post and make the old one disappear making the new one bold and v=better making the changes you wanted?
But what happens when you make a post and people don't see it? They might think it's the same one? Maybe if it was in a color not bold or italic to catch their attention?
editing posts have been brought up wayy too many times..like "Oh this is a great idea" turned to "Dude,stop posting this idea it will never work"..and not flagging your own posts,flagging double-posts and just not doing it in the first place will stop people telling him/her not to double-post(which is spamming also)
Quick reply? If you added quick reply, would you have to wait 30 seconds? Also, I don't think there should be any coding done to prevent mistakes, for the onus is on the writer of the comment.
If people are just blabbing away, why should the administrators or site developers be concerned about errors? The person should've put more thought into the post and read it over instead of double posting and such (And yes, I do realize, we're all humans and we do make tiny mistakes, but there are those people who fix even the TINIEST of mistakes).
Then again, I'm all for the Edit option -- it would be the most effective solution if you ask me. Why add post onto post of nonsense, when a simple spellcheck would've been suffice? Or if you wanted to add something you forgot to, originally? The Edit option OR BETTER YET, and I think Carlie is in favour of this, a PREVIEW button, to preview any errors or if you forgot to add something? I know GameFAQs already has this system in place (or used to?) -- believe me, it works!
Well, quick replies and editing posts are quite similar, so I don't think we should go as far as to saying that this is off topic. We are simply discussing better solutions.
Yeah! I don't know if you have or have not gone to Gaia a community(which has a lot of neat features) has a preview button toi see fi your comment has any mistake, Really helpful option. Gaia has name changing,edit post,everything but made by a Chinese group.We all know Chinese are hell smart(they are like 19 years)
