Because jlv made it so only the topic maker can edit they're topic.I guess he thinks "you can't take back what you say" or something.I don't like it though, I hate when I make a typo and need to fix and then I can't -.-

Some evidence of bad behavior was edited by a certain user and thus said evidence was wiped from the board before jlv had a chance to see it. The board does not save backlogs of posts before they were edited, so jlv has absolutely no record of what was said. So now without the possibility of editing posts, whatever gets posted will remain posted unless a moderator edits or deletes it.

Reread what you wrote before you hit submit. Revice if necessary.
Don't post crap you shouldn't post.

Follow those suggestions and you will never even need the edit button!

Well, I'm probably gonna end up needing to double post, like if there is a link that's bad or updated, Oh well

JLV: Not exactly. If someone does something stupid, I want it to stay there until a moderator can see it. The edit function lets people misbehave and then hide the evidence. If you need to edit a post a moderator can unlock it for you.
