No editing in sales thread?

[RPK for president.]

Why is there no editing without going through a mod?
If it is the reason I am thinking off, I have a few ideas I would like to put out...

It's for clarity in case of disputes I would think. It's annoying but there you go. I personally think it should be 15 mins for edits and up to an hour for Title changes.

Because they like to be different?

Now, now!

I thought the answer had already been covered though:- to prevent sellers committing fraud.

Okay, that is what I thought... but have you thought about being able to edit freely:

No excuses for bumping at all.
People make mistakes and don't realise it for a while i.e. After 10 minutes.

However obviously fraud is more important so why not do something where you set a price and you can't edit the price/model etc... But you can edit the main writing where you describe it etc?

Just a thought, sure someone has had this idea or am I missing something important out?

How would that help? The reason you can't edit a post more than 10 or 15 mins(can't remediable which) after you make it is to stop people going back a week later after they sold a gun and saying "this that and the other is broken" when originally it was sold as fully working.

I don't really see how it could be any easier to understand.

It would prevent bumping before the 3 day limit... Reduce work for mods...

no it wouldn't as they could still bump the post rather than editing...

[RPK for president.]

Re: No editing in sales thread?

Yes but for people who want to edit instead of bumping. It takes a while to be edited sometimes so people resort to bumping it before the 3 day rule. Obviously there will be people who still bump it but you can't do anything about that.

i dont think it should be open forever to edit but a bit longer would be nice so many times have i put something up for sale and missed out info and then when writing in corrections i look like a premature bumper

yeah but that's understandable and a little

"sorry mods please merge" sorts it usually
