Here's another one of my suggestions even though theres a 99% chance it won't work out.

Don't you hate it when someone double posts or posts again to correct their mistakes? Here is another twist to that editing idea.

So heres the idea: What if there was a quick reply option that gives no AP.

Just like the one in the news comments (these give points but don't add comments to you count.... how weird).

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)


DUDE! Don't stereotype.

The Gaia community is also larger, and there is more accountability. Who's to say that someone can't post something inappropriate when a mod's not around and then edit it. No proof that person did anything wrong.

Quick replies can lead to spam. No points, but spammers don't care.

I'm Chinese, ya know.


Well unless you are for some odd reason,then that tells me quite a bit,that I didn't know before.For some reason this whole time I assumed that you were Caucasian(white).I guess that's what I get for assuming something based off the way a person acts.Anyways juan,people could find that offensive,but also firetail using the word "hell" could also be found offensive to some people as well.Neither was necessary in my mind,but anyways now that,that's out of the way.If they are going to create a solution of some sort,then an I believe that it would be better that they put an editing feature before something like this.It would be good to prioritize,but one thing I don't see the point of is the preview option only,because I doubt people would want to spend more time looking at whether they spelled something right or not,and you could say "well that's their problem,and they should take more time on...."all you want,but it won't change a thing,unless this system came with some grammar/spelling/punctuation checking system,to help people see all of their mistakes quickly.

Also you firetail judge too quickly is what i mean to say.
How in the world would i have known that?
And people keep saying i get off topic and complain when pokkley over there does that too and i don't complain!

How much you want to bet someone is going to tell me something about me getting off topic?

Personally, if you ask me, I never actually use Preview.
It just never pops up in my brain.
As for spell-check, I wish everyone would switch to firefox. Then maybe everyone can realize how horrible their spelling is. *looks at my writing!* Rats, I spelled spell-check wrong.

you know I think that last post of mine proves the point of this thread ironically.I made a horrible grammar mistake by saying "Well unless you are for some odd reason",when I meant to say "Well unless you are lying for some odd reason".That I think would make the meaning of that comment comprehended in a completely different way.I wouldn't even need to make this comment at all if I didn't think someone might somehow take it the wrong way for whatever reason,but also I would like to point out that no I don't think you are a liar firetail,but I have been raised to be quite skeptical about just about everything outside of religion.Thats just the way I am.Also juan that was a bit hypocritical,that you said you don't stereotype and then say that all Chinese people are funny,and smart in some way,and plokkey caught you there.

Truthfully, I have never been on a site with a preview option.

Why did I need to say truthfully?

I wonder if this thing really works:

Is that a line of no posting?
Because I don't really understand it.
And your serious plokkey, never ever? You ought to try out more places.

I think that regardless, people are still going to spam it, or post for points. It might just end up getting underused, even though it is a good idea. I personally think it should be an all or nothing deal. All profile comments get points, or all profile comments are worth 0AP.

If there is still an option to get AP, the vast majority will choose that one.

And I have seen many sites with preview options, just look at VBulletin.
