Thread: edit posts

  1. #1

    Default edit posts

    Okay, how many times do you edit your posts? There's a nifty little thing I found that if you edit as soon as you post, the little "edited last" notification doesn't show - I guess if it's within the minute or something. So I keep abusing this feature, and post, and then edit and fiddle with it and stuff. I'd say I edit every post at least once - be it for grammar's sake (mostly), semantics (you have to phrase things carefully or people go nuts on you) or content (like changing my mind about something or stuff).

    I don't edit my posts too much, but when I do it's usually for a few reasons. I've either made some typo, spelling mistake, or grammar error, and I'll go back and change that; or I need to add some content that I thought of later. Something along those lines anyway.

    EDIT: I had to edit this post due to a typo.

    I edit my posts whenever I spot a typo, be it spelling or grammar. Doesn't happen too often, but more than I'd like, if I'm posting in a hurry.

    However, as a job-perk of being a mod, the "last edited by" thingy doesn't appear when I edit my own posts, or someone else's. Since most of EoFF is kind and rule-abiding, I rarely have to edit another person's post to delete spam, flame or profanity.

    I have never edited my posts. Ever.

    I edit my posts to add to them or to correct terrible spelling mistakes.

    I edit my posts all the time. I think I'm almost famous for my "EDIT BY BoB:" thing because people have commented on it more than a couple of times. But yeah, I try to mark every single one of my edits unless it's just a typo or something.

    Somtimes I'll edit them. If I spot a big typo, I will. But if it's just a small one that almost no one will notice, I won't. It's not a big deal for me, actually.

    I'll always mark my edits if it's to add content to my posts, but that rarely happens. Yet, I still edit my posts all the time, to correct typos and such. If nobody else has noticed/pointed out my typo, I usually don't bother marking it, but if it has had any effect on the thread, I do. A lot of the time I can't be bothered fixing errors I make.

    I edit a lot. It's fun to list the reason why you've edited the post. xD

    I don't make mistakes, so there's no reason for me to edit my posts. I'm practically perfect in every way. *guffaw*

    You know, if you do all that stuff before you actually post, you can skip that whole "edit" thing and save time. >_>;;

    But that's just me... *Shrugs*

    I rarely edit, unless I make an obvious mistake—but I don't make mistakes... so there ya' go. ;P

    I edit my posts if there's something I want to add, or if I made a spelling error or grammar error. Which isn't too often, but it happens.
