edit neowin comments and posts

[rocks1985]

why can't we edit neowin comments and posts forever, like for example, on reddit?  (Not saying I prefer reddit because I don't like how everything there is karma based)

 

I think we can edit for a short time on neowin, but then that ability goes away.  Is there a reason for that or ...

Trolls.

Ok ... If not giving us the ability to edit our own content, then how about at least the ability to delete our own content ... ? 

 

And what about, maybe giving users who have at least 100 posts more editing power?  

And those with 1000 posts forever editing...

And then if there are trolls, they could be dealt with on an individual basis. 

Or something like that.  

Is it a lack of resources?  I think macrumors allows unlimited forever editing and deleting. How can they have it but neowin can't

Maybe it's your popup blocker.

As I recall a couple of years ago there were a couple of members, who shall remain nameless, who were caught going back a couple of weeks after posting and changing their comments to make the conversation look completely different. I don't know if that has anything to do with your request though.
