why cant I edit post after a while?

it' realy annoying to be forced to make a new post if you want too add something

the worst thing I truly hate is when mods in this forum is edit post titels
in realy strange way

my org post here about SOE and mythics was:
Hello a must read buy items,chars and lvls with IRL cash

changed by some mod too:

SOE: IRL cash for stuff OK as long as we get a cut. Mythic: yuck!

I realy cant`understand the motiv too add the : Mythic: yuck! also
in my post titel ? Well a answer from a mod or the owner of FH plz ?


First off this time I didnt make any wrong in the post right ?
sec edit stuff too make its look like I dont like mythics that's not correct.
3 stuff is too edit stuff in another name is well ask the local lawfirm about that.

from now I take scrns ever post I make strange things are happening here

The original title made it seem like you were offering to sell items in DAOC for real money... where as the edited title actually described what the post was about, which is always helpful. The "Mythic: Yuck!" comment indicated that while SOE is seemingly encouraging the idea of selling virtual items for real money (as long as they get a cut) Mythic commented that they thought the idea was wrong... and expoitative. As it gives an unfair advantage to those who are "better off" in the world;

Although I would like to add that although Mythic criticise the selling of items to give an unfair advantage, they allow and accept dual accounts for buffbots, which again gives the "man with the money" the advantage.

The edit timer was added to prevent someone saying something, regretting it weeks/months later and editing it out.

Your thread title was changed for precistly the reason DocWolfe said I would imagine, but not by me. In addition, this is hardly mods running "wild and cracy[sic]".

agree to that. but 10 minutes? thats a tad short tho isnt it? its happend quite a few times when im editing my own post and it takes so long the edit timer runs out. making me either "postfarm" and start a new thread about the exact same thing (and quite possible getting a warning for it, it never happend but still. if u get a mod on his/her bad hairday.......) or screw it all together. :)

The mods are evil! They be coming to your house and editing you out next!

fear them! for they are the devils spawn!
<makes cross sign>

Evul!

actually 10 minutes isn't bad. it's long enough to go "oops shouldn't have posted that naked picture of Tilda it might scare people" and edit it out but not long enough to retract stuff you'd said about someone during a nice long friendly flame session.

vive la 10 minutes!!

Whoa...you got all that from "Mythic:Yuck"?

That's like....impressive :p

Must take one helluva woman to tell you "no means no!"

But yeah, there's nothing wrong done here. Chill out, take a breather, have a smoke and see the point. It's nothing worth getting yourself banned for now is it? :D

I'm wild and crazeeeeeeeeee! yeah baby!

I changed that thread precisely for the reason that I saw it and thought "wtf? a sale thread - how did it live that long and get that many replies?" and was all ready to nuke it till I saw the content :)

So I changed the "topic" of the thread to be what the thread is about but without the "BUY LEET EBAY CHARS HERE NOW" overtone.

(you had quoted Mark Jacob CEO of Mythics response to SOE's latest money making scheme - SOE: Gifv cash, Mythic: Yuck! just about fits in the topic line and quite aptly describes the content imo)

the edit timer is there to stop people posting:

OMG XXX IS UBER

then after three pages of people responding to it changing it to
OMG XXX IS TEH SUCK!

and making everyone look really silly.

But yeah shoulda posted a reply saying "changed the title to stop me getting the urge to nuke it into the stone age" - sorry about that :)

don't know why you'd think the poster doesn't like mythic - it's "Mythic: Yuck!" as in Mythic say "Yuck!"

plus
Hello well this is a must read buy items,chars and lvls with IRL cash
screams to me EBAY EBAY EBAY! ;)

agree on the principle, but 10minutes is far too short Tilda, could you talk it over with the other mods and perhaps consider a change to something like, 30 minutes at least?
