Should we remove the edit post feature?

[MarkG]

I have discussed thoroughly with Dan on the issue for days now.

We were not sure what stance to take on the issue. On one hand was the significant results of the poll. On the other the fun value of not allowing people to correct their mistakes for eternity.

We then created a secret committee of experts Apolytoners and asked them questions: a priest ("should we allow people a second chance? what do the Olympic Gods have to say about this?"), a psychologist ("how often do Apolytoners mess up and post silly and why?"), a computer technician ("what would be the server load value of removing the feature"), a marketer ("should we go against the will of the people? perhaps make it a PLUS feature?") and ottok ("remove ok feature?")

The committee consulted and gave a single answer: "NO"

They gave no further explanation, so....

A committee that gave a unanimous answer? Must be right.

[Bloody Monk]

Wow!! Very surprising result!!

Not that Ottok gave a one word answer, I mean, really??

But that you understood it!!

This experiment seems to be working out rather well. Hope you both are prospering and continueing to have fun. Thanks for a great site, fellows!!

Now that would spark an interesting debate!

well I guess that answers it.

I'm just glad the ownership gave this a serious look.

Actually it is a very neat idea. We the PLUS members can edit all we want while watching all the silly non PLUS members make all kind of noneditable mistakes.

Yeah, we can provoke them into a silly flame war then edit our posts to say "please don't flame" then call Ming.

Recommendation: Edit this post.

I think the site keeps track of edits though.

No you tosser... the edit post function is sometimes essential!

[Snowflake]

That's why we should make it PLUS member only. Imagine the revenue stream from the new subscribers! (Just kidding.)

Wow, that was a remarkably clear comment from ottok...
