I had no idea there was a time limit on editing/deleting posts, and to be honest it makes me a little uncomfortable about posting here.
The reason I say this is because I just posted a rather lengthy reply to a post in the Non-Fiction section. I've already edited it once, but the more I think about it, the more I think I should edit it again to remove some statements I made that could potentially cause trouble if the wrong person were to come across it (however small the odds are). However, now it turns out I can't edit or even delete my post at all, without "reporting" my own post and waiting for a moderator.
If I do go down that road, are moderators going to be annoyed at my using the report function to make relatively minor edits to my own posts?
I'm also a lot less likely to post original content if I can't take it down at short notice. I mean, I understand it would be frustrating for people if something was removed, but surely that's better than scaring people off by making our posts pretty much permanent?
Any input from mods would be appreciated, they do a great job here.
