Yeah, that goes for the glorious Devil Man too.

Devil Man couldn't give a damn.

We are all human, after all, and 'tis human to err!

So don't worry 'bout it :)

If anything, it shows how much you pride yourself in making good Posts. Like, say, you make a mistake first time around, then you correct it and that bar appears at the bottom. It shows you take effort in your Posts to re-read them and correct the mistakes for the benefit of mankind :roll:

Ergo, you are proud of your posts!

I think the "Reason" only appears if you edit it after someone's read your post.

Also why do you have to give a reason when deleating a post. Whos going to read it, as the post is being deleated.

It appears that you don't have to give a reason to delete it, but I think staffeners can see deleted posts or see why people have deleted them...or something.

No! I just ignore it is all.

It was put in by Kishi to make sure that when people backtracked their falsified posts and he berated/corrected them that they can't cover their stupidity up for the world to not point and laugh at.

Yup.

It does kind of bother me :bigsmile:

I don't really care.

I put comedic titles in them.

So that we who see deleted posts know why.

I've never even edited one of my posts.

I have never got that before. And I edit a number of my posts. So, being as I never get one, it can't bother me. :p

Most of the time I'm editing my posts because there's something that I forgot to say. (I'll rarely edit for a typo or something like that.)

And so I like the little line because it allows other posters to know that there's new information on the table that they may need to know about before trying to respond to my killer wit.

EDIT: I am reknowned for not having killer wit. Except for the kind that's so bad it gives aneurisms.

EDIT 2: See, I go out of my way to mark my edits. Other people probably won't do this though, because nobody thinks. Ever. So the little stain at the bottom of the post becomes necessary.

My posts are like... remember in the early days of t'internet when we were using IE2/3 and modems? There was a type of image (jpeg2000 I think) where it'd start off fully drawn but really blocky and pixellated, and then as the image file loaded it'd get more and more detailed.

(Nowadays they just load top-to-bottom, as most people have broadband anyway)

So yeah, I'll usually start out a reply with 2 lines and think I'm done, then find myself going back and adding more detail over and over.

So I'm quite used to 'Edited' messages - in fact I'd probably rather people knew.

'Preview' is no good for me for some reason. You'd think it should be, logically, but it's not - I can't psychologically check a post properly until it's actually posted.

It really doesn't bother me very much at all. :jess:
