Why is "modify" turned off?

[Scottl]

It is kind of funny to see who is up in the middle of the night posting

Do any of these memberships include an a$$hat I can wear?

Good idea!  I'll take that up with Tom.  In the meantime, short-term editing should soon be re-enabled; and if anyone really needs to edit a locked post, either Report the post with a note explaining the situation (this gets broadcast to all admins & mods) or send one of us a PM and we'll take care of it.

Wow DKS!  That's deep!  This must be the moderator's motto.

Not quite knee jerk. Its something we have been discussing for some time (in some past instances) as several times people have done this d-bag move and it leaves a awkward thread.

HA! 

That is entirely too true! I can suppose another forum you were on did this. I was a mod on a big automobile-related board, the site owner was bought-out, and the new ownership did exactly this, created a bunch of hoo-haw paid membership levels. The "benefits" didn't quite rise to changes in the ability to edit, etc., but the added problems it created with managing the board is why I turned in my keys to the executive washroom.

It added a bunch to my work, and they only increased my pay by 100X. As in 100 x $0 still equals $0.

You now have 240 minutes to modify your post after you submit it

[gary60s]

We'll have a solve for this. The software allows you to have exemptions based on forum or thread.

If there is a fix in place I don't see it. I don't have my "modify" button to let me update my Sss index thread. Does this mean that each time I want to update it that I should report it to a mod? I'm sure that would get old quickly because I have been updating daily. I will still go with whatever is recommended.

Hold on, jeesh. Its not a blanket thing that can be done. Threads need to have permissions adjusted individually... and we all have full time jobs.
