Editing postsI don't think you should be allowed to edit your own post, with the possible exception that you can append to it, for example to correct a link. I've seen two examples now in the past week where people have edited posts to substantially change what they say, instead of fixing minor typos. This really isn't good from a discussion point of view. I don't agree with all Slashdot decisions, but I do with this one. Here's what they say about the issue in their FAQ:
No. We believe that discussions in Slashdot are like discussions in real life- you can't change what you say, you only can attempt to clarify by saying more. In other words, you can't delete a comment that you've posted, you only can post a reply to yourself and attempt to clarify what you've said. In short, you should think twice before you click that 'Submit' button because once you click it, we aren't going to let you Undo it.
