Why bother? Many users currently correct their typos, if significant, in a
subsequent response. It's not as if anything posted here is for the ages.

As long as you can /quote a user's previous post so it shows up in your
post in a box, it shouldn't matter if they subsequently edit it. It
wouldn't change the quote of their dialogue that you posted in your
response.

resp:128 Exactly! That is why I think it would be nice if we also added
something like blockquote tags to make it easier.

resp:124: I think it's unlikely someone would want to modify their posts
much past about 5 minutes after they've written something, and usually
to correct a typo. Either way, it may be similar to a conversation, but
it's not the same.

I don't see why slynne is worried,her posts look just as stupid in
context as out

How would this go? Say slynne entered a response in responding to
something tod entered. In her response she copied tod's comment. tod
comes back and some point and removes all of his posts. Do tod's words in
slynne's response get immunity from deletion?
I don't know why but I think this may come up. ;-)

resp:132: tod's words in slynnes response would not be removed, nor
should they. I doubt very much any software that allows quoting would
have the ability to remove such things.

Yea, like if I entered an item about breastmilk then I couldn't go and
erase what slynne duplicated from me in her own responses?
Maybe you could setup privileged censorship commands for friends of grex
board members so a few folks could go and do that while the rest can
go eat a hat.
What if I started an item about divorces and then said a bunch of things
and later wanted the entire discussions removed. That would be the
perfect example of an increased privilege erase command.
Not that those things have ever happened before
*COUGH*

Even in Confer days some people quoted entire items to keep them from
being deleted by their owners. So this is quite an old issue.
Although this seems like an interesting twist, it doesn't affect the
editing discussion because this issue of quoted text could occur (and
has) even without editing. This is getting into "business policy"
territory rather than technical (although the BP might be implemented as
a technical solution). One solution is to allow moderation due to the
number of people and competing interests that might be involved. And of
course, we don't like *COUGH* moderation.

Yep, making it clear that your ability to edit your words only extends to
responses you have entered sounds like a good policy. I'd support giving
users the ability to edit their responses in that case.

One thing to consider would be a time limit. One site I frequent allows
editing but only for 90 minutes after the response is entered.

a time limit isn't possible with backtalk, so unless we switch
conferencing systems that's off the table. I absolutely support editing
of responses, as I've stated previously.

Why isn't it possible, Tony? We know the time the response was entered
since that appears in the item response. Apparently if we turn on
editing, we know the modification time (since it would go into a note
added to the response). Can't those two times be compared and editing
disallowed if the difference is more than some limit?
