We were having some problems previously with people editing their past posts in arguments/disagreements. People would get angry, and edit whatever they wanted to.
So for a few weeks, we enabled a time limit for the edit function (10 hours). People complained, but this fixed a lot of problems.
But... this is a DIY forum, which means new information/products come out often, and we need to go back and edit out older posts.
Now for the update:
Editing is now enabled for all members, but if people call each other mean names/ use condescending language/ or is being a general pain in the ass, they will be banned.
I do not want to limit the exchange of useful solar information just because a couple full-grown adults cannot maturely handle discourse. 99.9% of members reading this will never have to deal with this anyway, but the .1% have now been warned.
If you see someone talking down to you because you are a beginner with solar power, please report them. If someone edits their own comment immaturely, report the post and I will deal with it.
