Why No Edit Option?

[Nate]

Why is the edit option not available after 10 minutes?

Nate mentioned in several posts that a mod can edit a post if there is a legitimate reason. What reason would the original poster need other than wanting to change the post?

Thanks

Simply because it's a preference that the Administrators before me have set, and we do not intend on changing.

Matt:

I know what you're saying but people playing games is not a good enough reason to turn off the edit option. There are ways to handle the situation you mentioned.

I'm still waiting to hear from a mod or admin about why it's off.

Thanks.

The situation Matt mentioned is indeed one of the primary reasons. I would rather prevent that sort of a situation than deal with it.
