We have had a number of episodes where some member decides to delete all his posts by removing the content. This can often deface threads as there is now parts of the discussion missing and we end up having to spend a lot of time cleaning up.
To avoid this regular members can now only edit their posts in the first hour. Developers can still edit their own posts without restrictions. |

QUOTE history of changes can be tracked at administrator side (I believe), but also even by end-user with RSS Slightly OT, but not every post is published in RSS (when there's more than 1 post to the same topic within TTL (=5mins here)). I like the policy and I don't think that it makes much trouble to users.. wouldn't we see more complaints in that case? |
