BiggerPockets

I've double clicked a couple of times on the forum and had posts entered twice. I'd like to be able to delete one of those. Or suppose we post something and decide later it was really a dumb thing to post and want to delete it? I think we should be able to. And I've mentioned before that not being able to edit the title of the posts is bothersome. Any chance we can change that?

The accidential double posts result in a notification and are deleted by a moderator.

Editing is limited in order to avoid post destruction. We have had incidents where a poster decided they didn't like what they had said in posts and edited all their posts. That resulted in a thread that was meaningless.

I don't recall taking leave of my senses long enough to post anything on here I don't want others to read. It was just more of an example. For example, you post something that is erroneous and then later find proof to the contrary. But editing the title would be a big plus. I type pretty quickly most times and though I am relatively accurate, I do have a tendency to strike several keys at a time that causes typos and I hate spelling errors. Just a quirk of mine.

OK, I didn't know about the time limit either. I guess this is in some forum rules or directions somewhere that I didn't read? lol!

I belong to many forums and they have everything from unlimited editing to no editing at all. I know I have made a post, then went off reading other posts, came back to my post as someone has answered it, and saw a word spelled wrong or maybe a grammatically incorrect sentence. Yes, we can proof read, but sometimes we miss something doing a proof read.

Personally, I would like to see 20 minutes. For those of us who post at work, we get phone calls, visits from the boss, have to make a bio break run, and get other interruptions. Ten minutes goes by pretty quick while reading Sports Illustrated in the rest room.

Just something to think about.
