    In an effort to prevent people from changing what they say,
    editing or deleting a post after it has been made is now disabled

    mmmh not so good IMHO. can't you make it so that when you edit something you can only ADD text and not removing it? In this way you can correct what you said, but not change it completely.

    I'm so sick of being accused of deleting stuff. People will just have to think before they post from now on.

    Well I never thought you were the forum gestapo or anything. Running amock deleting whatsoever thou will.

    Does this change only affect the feedback forum?

    If so then it shouldn't be a big deal as anyone who wishes to retract a statement may just take the time to post a subsequent statement.

    I have no idea what is going on, but this removes the "deleted post" arguement from the open voice.

    anyway it's fine for me, tought i never used edit to change things beside spellcheck, or for avoiding double posts.

    let's think carefully what we write. i like the style.

    Yeah, and I only edit my messages because of spelling errors/mistakes . So couldn´t we make an archive forum (for the moderators), so they could see what happened between this poster and that poster, before they edited themself to death ?

    Meaning if I write "Fuck you ASSEMbler !" (don´t worry I won´t do that, without a real good reason). And then after I had posted it, then the message was archived in "clone forum" only for the moderators, and then when I edited into an example "I love you ASSEMbler !" then the moderators could see all the changes of the post, in the "archive moderator forum". And then he could kick my arse back to where ever he wanted.
    Just a suggestion of course, but it sounds like a good one :)

    The correct answer would be to post "I fucking love you"

    If you post something and regret it, you probably shouldn't have posted it in the first place.

    what you described is exactly the kind of think it makes people accounatable for.

    You can't tell someone to fuck off and then backpedal and say "I love you"

    :D LOL at that.

    anyway the correct thing would not to behave like 4 years old kids whenever something doesn't please us or we feel that our pride, position, or whatever has been offended.

    But actually i think thay it is not a problem of this community; sure a few guys are too easily offended, but that happens with all kinds of social relationship, be them on internet or in real life.

    Well, it seems the policy only applies to THIS forum, so just proofread your post (then proofread it again) before submitting it from now on when you are posting here if you are concerned about spelling and grammatical errors.

    Yeah, and if you really want to check your spelling, get a Greek-English dictionary, or use a Firefox dictionary from their site.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/da/firefox/browse/type:3

    But the only doubt I have is, wether the dictionary is good or bad. But again, there is an American English dictionary, Canadian English dictionary, Australian English dictionary, and British English dictionary. If you of course use firefox.

    Anyway that was it for now :)

    Mods only ignore that one thread. You could also be a bit more respectful.
    They do a lot of hard work for nothing.

    I suggest people install the Google Toolbar &/or use FF 2.0 built in spell checker, I find GT more effective in FF 2.0 though, it saves me so much time. Or simply copy the text into word before you post to check if you don't like ad dons and such (I used to do this before I found GT).
