I know the change was made for contests, but is there a way to apply the grace period for all threads EXCEPT contest threads?

I know that I, as I'm sure others, change stuff within that first five minutes, whether it be spelling or just thinking of other random shit.

Can anything be done? That note at the bottom is annoying as balls.

Unfortunately, there's no way to do that. The function in the back end that enables the editing alert is site-wide.

I can't stand it either, but what choice do we have when certain conspiracy posters (who have nothing better to do) try and turn everything around over and over and make things out to be things that they are not?....it gets old and now we all have to live with it.

What did roach say? He wasn't the one who accused JOH of editing a post it was Chick's fridge (sorry if i spelt it wrong) and he was said sorry for doing that

This is what roach said in that thread.

"quit whining. you're in the business of dealing with degenerate gamblers. most people in life don't like to lose. degenerates take it to another level. so of course they're gonna complain if they doing win. being the head moderator of a place like the rx, you should know this."

Quite frankly he is right gamblers bitch about every little thing. Im convinced there not happy unless they have something to wine about. Not once did I see him accuse JOH of editing his post.

He always bitches but he didnt accuse JOH of editing a post. You implied that the reason we have that editing rule is because of the likes of roach cough cough when he didn't really play a part in it and the only reason you mentioned his name and not the ones who did accuse JOH of editing a thread is because you dislike him.

Did he post of video of I ran by flock of seagulls when replying to wil? If so I saw that post. If it was something else feel free to say what it was. However I don't need to defend the guy longer just didn't think he should of called him out because you dislike him personally.

I have nothing against Roach, i wasn't even aware of him til he started going around bumping old threads for no reason at all other than to try and embarrass people , so please stop saying I do...

I am saying he is a problem -always miserable calling everyone a loser, it gets old...yeah we get it -we're all losers in life, all broke, all posting on the net with no lives.

It's clear he annoys you.

He was banned once before which I had nothing to do with...I find it comical you think you know what annoys me ...

Does he annoy me personally, no...is it annoying reading how he call everyone who gambles a loser, yes.

That is fine, I'm not here to really defend him or bash you. Just didn't see where he was a direct or indirect reason for the new edit rule to be in place.

My apologies if it seemed I was blaming anyone in particular for the reason the new edit rule is in place...and FWIW I have nothing against Roach, I wish he would be a little more positive is all.

Well, that sucks.

I'd still rather not have that edit shit. Let the whiners whine in a contest thread...at the end of the day, people still have to pick the winners first, before the tiebreakers come into play, right?

This edit shit blows. It used to be that when one saw the edit note at the bottom, it was a must-read post because it was almost always because it was a moderator who removed some bashing or derogatory shit. Now that's not the case. Gay.

for the record, I dont think roach was bitching (this time), he was actually trying to tell will that he should expect this kind of thing since this is a gambling forum.
