Look, I know as well as anyone that The Rooks™ isn't going to bring the edit button back voluntarily, but with enough public pressure (lol) he would have to think about where he is going to take the ***that he would use this post as toilet paper possibly giving us our edits back.

I mean, why again did we take it away again? That I'm a little fuzzy about, because 1 or 2 posters got offended by somebody correcting some spelling or making their point clearer or something?

Since when do the crying of 1 or 2 posters have to punish everyone else here? As I say now that nobody can read this thread without telling the website that they want to read P&R threads...

Anyway:

tl:dr; I'm hopped up on cough syrup and thought it was a good idea to poke a bear in the eye with a stick. Let's see how that goes.

I don't have to do anything.

A couple of reasons. The most obvious was that one or two people in particular would add whole paragraphs to posts, but if that had been the whole thing I would have just dealt with that instead of making a forum wide change.

The real answer is that I wanted to slow the pace and encourage more deliberate writing and posting. The race to being "first" rather than really reading and understanding a point from another person is a sign of moral decay blah blah blah.

Exactly like the last dozen requests for it. No means no.

I get this thought but all we do is post what comes to our mind anyway and then double or triple post afterwards to correct or to add onto our points.

You are trying to act like an authoritarian parent to whole bunch of adult users who most likely just want to ***post all day anyway.

Yes. P+R has a handful of special restrictions on it.

Like how you have to post in the blood of a lizardwoman...so...err....the blood would be green, wouldn't it?

Anyway, you have to pretty much pick sides.

You got the overly evil but overall nice Conservatives vs. the overly evil but overall great thugs.

Anyone on the fence has to sit in time out.

adult users

If people had acted like adults, none of this would have happened in the first place. I didn't really relish writing a bunch of extra code for a specific subset of the forum, specifically one where 95+% of the problems came from.

You can deal with the neutered P+R or it can go away entirely. I spent enough time dealing with stupid *** under its old rules that y'all are never, EVER getting that version of it back, full stop.

You clearly have absolutely no idea what a real authoritarian looks like.

...ok, I will admit that I am one of those people.

Although, I didn't do it with malice, I did it to elaborate on points I made without posting a new post and possibly breaking up the posts with people commenting on something else in the middle.

To be honest, I still do that, I just make up to 8 posts in a row now instead of having one slightly longer post.

You can't blame me for not being persistent.

I did saying "trying to act like".

Regardless, I think the no-edit rule is a pretty irrational solution. I will still post here because I enjoy the conversation but not being able to fix grammatical errors is vexing. Would make a lot more sense to tackle the "trouble users" with just simple warn/ban system then to punish the entirety of a forum.

People don't want dialogue in this subforum sadly
Some do.

Heck, I think Vic and Pleebo wants dialogue too. Some just comes in to troll all the time though.

Not to say that pettiness doesn't or won't happen in a very charged topic, like politics and religion.

Hell, but at least we aren't on the level of the PUP.

Look, I made this thread for 2 reasons:

1) Rooks never honestly answered the question "Why?" Or at least, I forgot the answer.
2) Possibly get people to say that this no-edit system sucks for those of us who uses this section of the forum enough that Rooks might consider it the next 23 times this is brought up.

also:

3) I can't sleep. So, I got to waste some time.

Neither is this medication that does the exact opposite as what it is intended to do.

Have you tried mixing vodka with cough syrup and taking some Sudafed? If you can ignore the weird things your heart does it always works for me

I like my heart the way it is.

Also, I don't want to feel time.

I do, every day.

I'm a constant reminder of the horrors of humanity.

But at least I thank my lucky stars that I'm not an abomination of society and Oklahoman. Gawd, can you just imagine how that would be?
