Re: Abuse of the Delete Option

I've been around this forum for a number of years and have never seen what you are talking about. Why is that? I don't know the edit option time frame, but I know it is very short.

I am very bad about being in a hurry and having to correct typos or Grammar. Many times I don't catch it until the time frame has expired.

Perhaps you could teach the poster the process:

1. Edit
2. Go Advanced
3. Delete post
4. Insert a period - .
5. Delete this Message
6. Even Admin can't read what was deleted and saves the Admin the trouble of starting a thread about one or two people acting out and thinking twice.
7. Good nights sleep.
