I wrote this on Facebook but thought it was interesting enough to write here:
Here is a question for today: should you be able to 'change history' and delete/edit a comment/post?
Sometimes I say the wrong thing or am not clear and find editing useful. However, I feel you should not be able to change a comment if someone has responded to it.(that's too confusing). You also should not be able to change a post you made a while ago.(it might be confusing since someone may have read it and now thinks it to say what it said before.). Changing spelling and grammar(but not structure) is fine anytime. One site I found would let you edit your post but only if no one had responded and you would only have so long to do it before it would 'time out'.
It's an interesting topic since you can't unsay things in real life.
Let's start a discussion if you read this(even years from now) leave a comment bellow and tell me what you think.
