Nigel, I think you keep the balance fairly, and the vitality of SZ is proof of that. One suggestion I would make is please don't display that someone has edited their post, especially if they edit it on the same day as they posted--which is usually for the reason of spelling and/or grammar corrections, or adding/deleting some ideas for better clarity.
It's unnecessary to show it's been edited and prejudices the reader.

Fully agree on that statement.

Disagree, because from time to time we have seen editing who make post totally different from the original
one...
Misspelling happens, myself I do a lot. Besides those of us who use another local language than english
or american may express ourself in a way who can be misunderstood. Then it's nice that readers can see
that we have done some editing.
Maybe it's better that we write in notepad or similiar, and read through what we have written a couple of
times before copy it into topic/replyfield and press the submit button?

Cheers / Happy playing & posting.

Gunnar, you misunderstand. I am in favor of editing, but I don't see why the reader has to be informed that the writer edited it. There would seem to be no good reason for this practice unless an edit was made days later re a post that was controversial, and the writer then edited the post in a dishonest fashion to claim he never said what he actually did.

There is a fairly high profile member who has posted comments quite often of a sarcastic or negative tone, who then pronounces he's done with the thread and starts deleting his comments. I'm reasonably sure he's not the only one who's ever done this.

Its kind of a "hit and run" technique that most of us don't care for.

That said, you can always delete the text that says this comment has been edited at the bottom of the text field...

Sorry Mo. I understand the point you are making but this is simply built into the forum software and isn't a feature that can be turned on or off so I don't get to choose.
