There's a limit on number of posts/edits in a 24hr period??

[bbbass]

I was editing a recent post, which I do a lot because of spelling errors and trying to make my thoughts clear, and I rx'd a popup that said:

"Oops, you've reached the maximum number of posts/edits in a 24hr period."

I've never seen this before. Is it new with V4? What is the max # of posts? What is the max # of edits?

What is the purpose?

I was wondering how long it'd be before someone asked

It's a mechanism to prevent mass-deletion, but it's a limit we set ourselves. It's limited to 5 edits per day right now. Sounds like we need to raise it?

@bbbass maybe you should learn how to type!!!












just kidding brother I do it as well.

Thanx for the reply @JoeLink! Yuppers. I get my fingers flying and I don't see very well. So my corrections can be well over 5 times for just one longer post.

I'll bump the limit up

Yah, I'm going to admit to editing more than I'd like, with respect to syntax, etc. Evidently haven't hit the limit yet, because I haven't seen that error message, but still.

Thanks for the bump.

My fingers seem to have a mind of their own. I want to type "an" and my fingers type "and". Same for "they" which comes out "the". Pattern typists do the same instead of mentally spelling each word, but my mind is going..... going..... gooooooinnnnnng.

I just learned of this new setting myself. If it's not an inconvenience, I don't know what is.
In fact, it set me sideways. Why does it need regulating?
Other forums do this. I don't participate there.

I've got a screwed up left hand. I've no choice but to NEED to edit, MANY times

 

[bbbass]

So, what does it mean that there is a limit to # of posts? Am I mistaking what it says? Does it only pertain to edits of posts?

 

[Joe Link]

Yeah, it's only a limit on the number of post edits. Let me know if you guys are still hitting it and I can bump it up again.

 

[bbbass]

Thanx Joe!!

It is amazing that I have not hit this rail before!

I edit many of my posts in the first few minutes (I think you call it proof-reading). But with my ADD, I jump out and edit every time I find an error.

I am sure had 4 edits on my last post last night. But I was chill so it was all good.

I read over my posts before hitting the button, but I still read them several times after posting. I can't stand for spelling and grammar to make me look like a dolt. The nuns would be wacking me. But I sometimes intentionally use poor grammar to give a folksy of or other aire... and I'm pretty good at being a dolt anyway!!!

I like to use the word 'seen', as in "I seen your post about editing upthread.".

My wife's G-ma was an English Teacher. Hehe.

5 edits per day?
With this group?
Good grief Aunt Martha.
I always type my posts in notepad and then correct them, at least 27 times,
and then copy and post them in here.
My original responses usually look like a foreign language.

But "I've seen" would be okay... if it weren't for the cautions against overuse of contractions... speaking of contractions, IBRB

Sorry to say it but this feature still needs work. The 24-hour edit limit applies to all posts on the site. So lets' say you edited one post several time to make it more accurate or to be easier to understand. Then you make a tiny edit or add a pic to another post (or two), boom, you hit the limit and can't edit anything else for 24 hours. I think the edit limit (if needed at all) needs to be for a single post, not site-wide on all posts.

Joe, you need to use Glock's strategy. Announce "something yuuuuge is coming" for a month, then announce that you raised the cap from 5 to 6 edits.
