So yeah, i think that there should also be added a delete button, so people can delete things they have posted.
Or atleast remove the time limit there is on editing your own posts.

And that was it <.<

Appreciated; personally, I do not think either of these are viable ideas... deleting threads has the potential to cause confusion to reign dominant, and increase trolling behaviors. There is ample time for making changes to a post, and the restriction does and should encourage those to consider their words before posting them. Just my two bits, interested to see what others have to say.

It would be nice to be able to add text to your post after the time limit, in order to clarify and use the <del> delete text </del> html tag on old text, to show regret.

if deleting a post is not possible, removing the time limit should imo atleast be ok.
Sometimes people regret what they say/do after a long time. Or they would like to get rid of things thatarent to pleasant.

Is there something so wrong with posting a subsequent message? Editing history isn't... well, as was put in "Thank You For Smoking" - "making history better". I feel more comfortable retaining the original and allowing someone to post an addendum than permitting change well after the fact.
