Hello,
I'm suggesting adding an edit post feature.
So that X person can edit their own posts, be it spelling, changed mind, or jsut wanted to delete their post altogether.

I thought of this when I went to edit a comment of mine - although this feature could be more useful on the forums then on comments, but both would be useful!

Thanks,
Orclegion

well no editing your own post is good not anyone elses though I was trying to get a merit and I spelled a word wrong so I wanted to fix it but I couldn't

We have been over this many, many, many times. Armor Games wants to be creative and original. Editing and deleting is used on most forums. End of discussion.

this actually could be a good idea, with the right modifications and all.

This would be awesome, but drakokirby has a point.

K. Sorry. Didn't know, I haven't seen a topic on this yet, but that's probably because I started yesterday.

DrakoKirby, that isn't creative, it's just lazy.

More to the point, I was just thinking this. I can't tell you how many times I've wished I could do that.

Although, I also think that it should be the poster's responsibility to think ahead and re-read his posts before he submits them.

The reason that we don't have this right now is not because we are trying to be unique... I agree that we need some sort of something to address this. Yes, it has been suggested a lot, but if someone just joined, it's daunting to go back through the posts. Just make sure you read the stickies, I'm sure something is in there about this.

In any case, be patient... you never know when new things will pop up )

And yet, in about a week or two, someone will post this same type of topic and we will have to say the same thing. It's a never-ending circle of questions.

Really, I don't think we'll be unoriginal with a simple feature like that? I mean, being original would be not even having a forum, or categorizing by genre. It's a simple, helpful feature that everyone seems to like, me included, and I really hope it gets put into action soon.

Yeah, I've wanted to do this many times, on some posts and I would have liked to edit a typo on one of my merit attempts.
