Hey! Yer talkin about Stoners Here!! And some of us type and spell lihe shit!! (Speaking for myself,of course)

proof·read(prfrd)

proof·read (-rd), proof·read·ing, proof·reads

To read (copy or proof) in order to find errors and mark corrections.

To read copy or proof for purposes of error detection and correction.


I'm against it.....we all have the ability to proof read our posts and in the case of moderating it would be a nightmare. If someone makes a b.s. post and it ends up being moderated I don't thing 15 min. later that user should be able to make the adjustments to make it our like he/she was just being picked on for no reason. Like that would happen right?

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

But damn, 5 minutes just seems a bit rediculous to me. So please vote on this most important issue that will undoubtedly change the course of all humanity.


Also, being added to the ballot is proposition 420, the ability to delete our own threads in case we feel they've become hijacked, or just regret bringing something up that snowball's into non-constructive conversation.

a limit to delete our posts or threads: till someone posts after it.

we post a message, and regret it, we can delete it until someone else posts.


and 20 minutes? why not just 10 or 15 maybe?

Edit...

I think I am going to keep my mouth shut.

But those forums, too much editing changes the dynamics of the postings.

As psycho said, proof read. :)

I proof read every post. Yet there is still 2 posts I have done that I used the wrong word or misspelled something and it still bothers me.

This is just my opinion. I will stay here no matter what happens. Best cannabis site on the Net.

Okay did anyone notice what happened above?

I typed my original reply, waited 3 minutes and then edited it. While I was doing this thcbongman hit quote and forever immortalised what I originally wrote.

If someone says something inappropriate or offencive, just click quote and then type "that is rude" or something.

Even if they edit the original post, because someone quoted the original post before it was edited the original post can still be read.

Don't like what they say? Click quote and it will be there for all to read. Then you can report it to a mod.

VERY valid point and example here.....never know. Nice post!:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

LOL...the bottom line is you guys have given sundance. PLENTY of feedback regarding this issue, so there's no more to do...but for god's sake, is it REALLY that big a deal?

thcbongMAN is right with his post. We're not allowed to go back and change history now, are we?

I just think this is a very petty issue, but that's just me...
