  An edit button. Great idea! No one has ever thought of that before.

  I hate the idea of an edit or delete button in the discussion forum. Too easy to walk back on controversial statements.
  
  For the reviews, yes.

  We joke about not having an Edit button around here. But in reality, I don't mind not having one. You gotta live with what you type. I have had to learn to do a better job of overlooking my comments before I hit Submit.

  An edit button? I hadn't thought about it, but now that you mention it... that might just be crazy enough to work!
  
  Time limit on edit and delete functions please, if we ever enter a bizarro world where edit and delete functions actually appear :)

  Great idea Eva. We can use it to delete your communist lockdown thread.

  Lol...
  
  
  Unfortunately you can’t...
  
  You can only have the ability to delete your posts...
  
  You can’t delete posts made by other people...
  
  Neither can you delete a discussion thread...

  No to both. The lack of those two features is one of the few things that creates a shred of accountability on here. If those features were present, then there would be a lot of actual rewriting of history.
  
  Evasparkling said "Sometimes I tend to type very fast & post it without proofreading properly thereby making certain errors."
  
  That's your problem.
  
  On a forum with (a lot) less trolling, this might work. Here... absolutely not.

  An edit button what a novel idea, that would be the first step to having the inmates running the asylum.

  If we had an edit button there probably never would have been all the fun around VM's posts.

  I'm for a delete button for threads. Not posts. Don't think editing is useful though.

  Of course you are.

  Depends on what you mean by deleting threads. If you mean you want to delete a thread that you started because you don't like how people are taking your comment or question ? No, I don't like that. If you are saying that you would like to tag a particular thread so it doesn't show up on your List of Discussion topics, I say Yes to that. I would love to eliminate all Icey and SJG threads and not have to look at them anymore when they push them to the top themselves.

  Allowing users to mask threads solely from their own view when logged in has been brought up before. Usually with more fans than detractors (I'd be on the 'fan' side).
  
  There must be something to it, because every time it is suggested SJG throws a tantrum.

  A flagging feature would be useless in this forum. It would be abused by a certain clique. Allowing someone to delete their own thread would be useful though.

  “Sometimes I tend to type very fast & post it without proofreading properly thereby making certain errors.”
  
  Yeah, it’s too bad this board makes you type blindly without any way to see what you’ve written before hitting the “Post Comment” button.

  The day an edit button takes effect will be the end of this website, I can see it now iceberg slim says I never said that you can’t show me where I ever said that
  Not just iceberg but I suspect he would be the first

  in my opinion it would be nice to have a edit button that would function for say five minutes after you post something so that you can correct errors in spelling and such... i use my phone for posting and Siri screws things up sometimes (if I don’t)...
