Was any alternative action besides only allowing editing for 30 minutes after a post is made, considered to combat the abuse of the editing function by various "individuals"?
For example, were these individuals able to be identified and then banned or at least suspended?

I assumed that to be the reason. Is it possible to test the edit back in certain areas? such as; for sale (to update and such, and Meeting/event threads. These are areas that constantly have change. To edit would allow people to find the info faster and move on or log off and not slow things down.

I don't know the programming side of this.
But I will say that I do not recommend what you're suggesting.
Members post about their problems in the regular sections.
And post prices in the Classifieds sections.
If either one side has the capability to edit, you can do stuff like change the selling price to back out of a deal or hide info like blown engine, turbo issues, accidents, etc.
Not really a straight-forward answer.

I second Dom. The ability the edit post/threads after the fact would create issues with the honestly of posts in the Classifieds, and especially the GG/BG forum.

Of course those can be issues. I've seen it on other boards too. However, I think it can work in some areas. The for sale forum is closely monitored. As much as I would like to trust people on there, I know this site is the target of many fraud artist's. Perhaps making it a perk to people who have been on for a certain time and are in good standing. There are many ways to provide it.

Appreciate the support guys... I just know that it is frustrating to me when I can not post another item forsale or lower its price in the first post. Instead I have to either create another thread or add it to the 4th or 5th page of my current thread.

Why is it that many other forums allow you to edit stuff hours or days later? Why are we any different?
It's not like this "rule" is preventing scams or loss of money, or even shitty dealings. They all still happen in abundance.
Seriously...go take a look at this thread for example, and then think of how much easier it would be for me to conduct simple part sales if I could edit the original post (which is the ONLY THING THAT MOST POSTERS READ, AS PROVEN HERE) to reflect current information.

What...you think I am going to PM a mod and wait 1-2 days for a possible response every time I sell a part off the list? That isn't going to fly with you or me. Not to mention most mods are not as nice or receptive as you are, half of them never even reply to messages sent.

On another note I am really OCD about punctuation, spacing, and formatting, so it ticks me off when I see a post of mine with something misspelled, punctuated wrong, etc. that I can't do anything about...

sometimes i dont notice a mistake on a post i did for a while, but when i go back to change it the "edit" tab is gone. i cant edit anything after what it seems to be 5-10 minutes later. i would like to keeps the "edit" tab on there all the time. unless there is a reason for it like that....
