Editing Post

[Annabelli]

Some members are editing their post after other members have made replies. This is unethical and dishonest.

A post that has been edited hours and days after it was originally posted is unethical and dishonest.

An edit should be made shortly after posting to correct a typo, left out word, etc. A quick reply may occur before that correction is made.

It is obvious that editing a post hours or days after it was made is a change of the post contents that contradicts the replies. That makes such editing unethical and dishonest.

Is there something specific you have in mind?

...hence the quote feature.

I can understand your frustration but if this happens a lot then call the specific person on it. It also indicates that the post has been edited. If the post is changed enough to make a thread not flow right I believe that the poster could not live with what they had written. Maybe we should all think about what we write before we hit the reply button. Who do you think it reflects more on, the person who went back and changed what they wrote or the person who replied after the original post?

Like Snow said we have the "quote' option, use it if you want to make sure your reply is to something specific or if what you are replying to something posts away from your reply. :)

Testing to see how the quote feature works.

This is the quote feature. Now I am going to edit the original post to see if I get this same quote or it the edit changes it.

Okay hehe

[Annabelli]

I am satisfied that the quote feature will not pick up the edit.

Thank you.

Did you edit that last post? Just to see what happened to it?

[Annabelli]
