upped from 2 minutes to 5 now because of a few complaints over the last few months.

Im still trying to figure out why you put a time limit on it anyway, seemed to work fine that way in the past?

yes remove the edit thing who cares if ed or george changed their posts. If you ever argue just hit the reply with quote button

is it really a question why there is a limit? so that people do not go back and delete posts from days before confusing any new person that is just reading/catching up on a thread....

1. to prevent confusion by a poster changing his post or story after new follow up posts have been made about the original post

2. to prevent massive edits/deletes. with no time limit a person with say 1000 posts could possibly get mad and go back and edit all their posts to say nothing essentially ruining a part of the site.

we've had both of the above things happen

5 or 10 minutes is good IMO. Two minutes was barely enough time to proofread your post and get it changed before you get locked out.
