Hey Omni.
You keep talking about the upgrade. When are you planning to update?

[Zettabit]

To add to the idea of making a website that hosts people's threads, why not just host your own? It's not hard to get a free webhost and just upload an image to it. Each time you update the "thread", keep the image name the same and just replace the old one.

You'll always be able to edit your thread, and you won't have to worry about your threads disappearing because the site is down, as there are plenty of free sites that have lasted well over 5+ years, which are still up to this day.

Another idea that works with this is that you can create a tool that creates images based on text you input, ultimately making it look almost identical to a thread being viewed, only in image format.

There's a lot of legit reasons for editing past 90 days honestly. Guides, marketplace threads, graphic design services, etc. Really not liking this change but I guess there wasn't much else on the table. Fucking idiots had to continue abusing. Now we have to deal with the limits.

I hope Omni considers an extra feature where we can be given an extended period. Like if we contact staff or something like a report button to request edit authorization. This would allow those who have legitimate reasons to modify their threads a year down the road. If authorization approved, we have 48 hours for example to edit our thread before it gets locked. And each time it'd be reviewed by mentor or w.e. This prevents abuse by staff and mentor modifying threads. This would also allow staff and mentor to make a copy of the thread before approving. If a member abuses that, they get blacklisted from that feature.

EDIT:

IF thread age > 90 days:
submit edit awaiting approval (maybe like an unapproved post)

On the mod area, staff/mentor can view original and changed side by side. If changes are legit and not abusive, approve change. If not legit, strike. 3 strikes, blacklisted from edit feature past 90 days.

1. This prevents the concern of abuse from staff/mentor directly editing post;
2. This solves the problem of legit threads needing update past 90 days;
3. Prevents edit abuse and prevents new feature abuse (3 strike rule).

Don't see any flaw in this besides it's probably a pain in the ass to code this up and that it adds more work for staff/mentors (but this is a quick Approve/Reject thing)? #MyBBStruggle

One minor flaw which is pretty damn extreme is... mentor/staff work with that member to approve the request even though it's abusive. Maybe make it 2 confirms required to be approved? Not sure, but the damage done can't be as bad as Morchid's situation. Oh, also maybe limit the amount of requests that can be made a day? 1-2 edit requests.

Honestly, a good idea would be to have your pending edit approval only for the marketplace.

The section which is going to suffer the most from these edits are long lasting marketplace services. The services which have been running for months or even years.

What I may end up doing is giving R3kt and Mentor members a much longer edit period too.

Hopefully this happens , It sucked when the junk feature got removed

Ub3r now have 90 days from original post date to edit.

How is that I can still edit my threads even if they're older than 90 days?

I mean, my primary usergroup is Ub3r. Do R3KT users already have some extra privileges?

Don't think the system has been implemented, yet. Also, what browser is that? Looks cool.

Oh, that explains everything. I was convinced the change was already done.

Regarding my browser, it's the usual Firefox with this dark theme :)

I think omni made a small mistake If I'm not wrong.

Sorry but you cannot edit your post. The Administrator has set it so that posts can only be edited within 1296000 minutes of posting.


1296000 Minutes = 900 Days Instead of 90.

Ow. That means that it has been implemented. My bad.
And yes, most likely.

[Fυcĸleѕѕ]

I can see the issues some people have with this but I like the idea of hosting an image of thread content and just changing the image if you need to edit.

That being said I wonder how flexible these rules are and if Omni could change them easily?
ie;
Rekt/Uber can edit the first post of a thread indefinitely
First posts of a thread can be edited if the thread receives x amount of activity

Obviously replies don't need a long edit window but I would love to see options to help edit first posts. Until then I guess I'll be updating my important threads to image based ones.

Uhm, yeah, I took a thread made in 2013 and got the same error:



Guess Omni made a typo :)

Well, shit. Guess I'm fucked on my old threads.

No you are not, your account didn't even crossed 900 days since your registration.

[Realizm]

Is there a way you could make it so it's a cool down? Like where you can edit the thread again after 30 days for Ub3r, 40 for L33T, 50 for Regular? I see it working like the Reputation System, you can do a few edits once a thread is created, but once you reach a limit there is a cool down from then on. I'd say only 2 edits in case somebody screws up when making the thread.

Would most likely require a custom plugin I'm guessing though I don't know very much about current plugins or MyBB settings.

Not sure if this was seen, but is this a possibility?

Omni saw all posts and made this comment.

No one will be editing threads for others. I don't allow that Even Staff are instructed not to edit member content.

Everyone just have to adjust to the new reality that post editing is now limited.
