Allow editing of PM's.

Basically, like Spigot. Make it so you can edit a PM if its within x time of sending it. Like 5 minutes would be fine.

I often find myself sending something not correctly explained, and or has mis information after reading through again.. or I would like to add something.

Letting people edit messages would not be good, obviously. Due to scam reports etc. But just within 5 minutes of posting would do no harm, and yea.

This was changed to no edits so people could not scam by editing their messages.
Most likely will be rejected.

Then like 3 minutes, like honestly 99% of the time no one even sees a message within 3 minutes.
Like.. It would just be very nice to edit/add something real quick. idk

There's no issue in sending a follow up message correcting whatever information you messed up on in your original message.

There is like a 20 second wait between messages, (antispam). - Which is annoying.

Or you could proof read your message once (or twice) before sending it.

We both know that most of us are too lazy for that. (Or forget), etc.

Now, This is possible, but It is unlikely. Especially in this community, people get skype contact, talk a bit, THEN do the deal but usually takes more than 5 minutes.

This is why we discourage deals on Skype; even so, it's easy to see when a message had be edited on Skype. Not so easy in a conversation on here.

How embarrassing is it lets say to write an application to someone, and while you already sent it found a grammar error, what are you going to do? Post it again? Say "Woops I made a grammar error" like seriously, not all of us are perfect and pick up every error reading it over a few times. In a situation like that wouldn't you be embarrassed that you made and error and can't quickly fix/edit it before the reader reads it?

The way it worked before seemed to be that if somebody else sent a PM after you sent yours, you could no longer edit yours, and you only had like a minute or so to edit your post.

I think that was fine and am not really sure how somebody could possibly abuse that to win a scam report or something. I think it was fine the way it was, and like most other changes staff make on this website, was a completely unnecessary thing to change.
