Editing Threads

[Leba]

Hi, so I've noticed a lot of people have trouble with Editing threads after a certain amount of time has passed. It makes sense if they only have a set period of time before such function becomes unavailable, but I find it odd how I'm still able to edit a thread I made almost half a year ago, as well as any other thread which I'd made. (And I'm sure I'm not the only one with that ability.)

It's been said that some "privileges" on Forums are earned after a while (Changing the Avatar picture, editing signature, etc.). So does editing threads, no matter the time passed count as one of those features you earn over time (or by reaching a necessary post count); or how exactly does it work?

It' just boils down to combo of spam, bad intentions, and resource wasting. For those reasons I have placed temporary restrictions on new members, a few posts and few days account age will clear you out.

I will not publish the actual data/requirements that would defeat the purpose of such system.

You can still do most of things, but it's usually "remote picture" or "edit within few minutes" etc.

For those who have serious legitimate reason to edit, just create a topic in support center, I'm sure a staff will oblige.

I was just wondering on what principle it works. Fair enough for not wanting to share the actual data, at least people who've been wondering about it can now refer to your explanation here.
