Whenever I have to edit my post, I feel the post doesn't look as nice as it did.

By 'nice', I mean there it looks simplistic with no errors.

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

I think it should be made bigger and in bold.

I think every time you edit a post you should be banned for a week.

Stupidity, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic

I'd rather fix a typo and have the label than leave a typo, but obviously it's not ideal.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

I do, yes. I understand why it is there, but it should be more obscure IMO.

I didn't just edit this post to make a point, btw >.>

It should go on both the top and bottom of your post just to make sure you see it. Additionally, they should show up when quoted.

No I think it's good to know there has been an editing done to the post. If you don't like it you'll have to make sure it's extremely well written from the start.

  • 12.19.2012 1:13 PM PDT

No it doesn't bother me. I prefer it be there when someone decides to edit a post.

Yeah. absolutely... But it looks a hell of a lot better than typos. :)

The edited label definitely needs to be there. A good reason for it is the occasional contest of the first-to-post-this-wins variety which bungie likes to do in the Mail Sacks. Without the edited on line, the first poster could just copy paste the correct answer in after someone else posts it and win automatically. (Yes, I'm aware Bungie has DB access and this would be easily mitigated.)

What they should do, in my opinion, is move the edited line down to where the posted date is and change the colour so it matches the date. This would put it out of the way and make it less of an eyesore.

But it's not going to happen and it's pointless to complain now. The aptly named "Bungie.next" is coming soon(tm) and with it, it will bring an entirely new and recoded-from-the-ground-up forum structure.

Dammit. I had hoped to not have an edit on this post... but I can't leave a typo in... I just CAN'T!

I think it should stay the way it is to serve as a mark of shame that you're a terrible poster.

You should all strive to be more perfect like me, that way you never have to edit a psot.

  • 12.19.2012 1:40 PM PDT

Never seen it in any of my posts as I never make mistakes. So I don't have an opinion on this.

We could replace it with the Shangelli Mark of Shame in the top right corner of the post

Somewhat. I've never really liked it to be honest, unless it's to find out if someone lied.

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said could never be done.

It depends. On more intellectual posts the label shows the user has gone and revised what they have posted. Really, it is neither good or bad. It should just remain as it is.

No, I do not want to join your clan/group.

I understand why it's there and I think it should stay there, though the size of the label could stand to be scaled down considerably. If nothing else, have it replace the original timestamp (still with the "Edited on" prefix, though).
