Were is the edit button?

I hear you guys. But its very much open to abuse. Say in first post someone slags another or makes a blatant false accusation or lies. Posts that follow responds to allegations, flames or lies, only to eventually find the offending comments were edited out or tampered with making respondents look like idiots, ie making the respondents replies all lies and false, coz there were no such allegations made in the first post, well at least after editing it.

Now I realise most posters have genuine use for editing. But for example if you go through most of my posts they are rarely edited, because before I post "I THINK", if its inflammatory I might even sit on it a while before responding ie do I still want to reply as I did when it got me heated up. If a lengthy response I usually check it first then preview it, only once Im satisfied with my reply I post it. Im sure there maybe typos every now and then but theyre quite ackceeeptable after a while. We no not all have good speeling here. Its ok.

But I guess the most important feature without edit, it should make the 'hotheads' take a few breaths before replying when they know they cant change it. That is more the reason. On Ezyboard the edit function was dissalowed the whole time we were there of 6 years or so.

However after having said all that allow me to review the matter in due course if patterns of behaviour change for the better. I dont know if it can just be allowed for certain "behaved" individuals, I will look into it.
