    Why did you take away my editing abilities?

    I tried to start a quick basic little fabric post for us new DIY folks here and thought it would be nice to edit the first post as a quick reference guide. The intent was to not get in depth of which fabrics are better worse or for what applications, etc.. I originally started it in a word document for myself a few months ago and after seeing many other folks asking the same questions I figured I'd go a little above and beyond to create the thread. I also created hyperlinks to various resources (including hammock forums members posts in the same thread) as a sources list as to not make myself appear knowledgeable or plagiarize.

    Anyway you took away my editing abilities with no explanation. If I did something wrong I'd like to know what it was.

    You've done nothing wrong and your editing abilities have not been taken away. There is a 72 hour edit window. After that posts cannot be edited. This is a policy that has been in place since before I was on the moderation team so I can't speak to the reasons that lead up to it. I can make edits for you if you'd like.

    What? That doesn't answer my question. I hope I'm not coming across as being rude or brash. Just curious.

    I just wanted to add MAD777s response to the weight of Silnylon question. Not a big deal.

    Hey Nhott.....he was making an obscure internet slang joke that used to be popular on internet forums.
    At least he was trying to.
    Kind of like "I can has Cheeseburger."
    I'm sure it wasn't anything personal.
    The Phrase is an old one at this point.
    I hope I'm stepping on any toes here.
    Just wanted to let you in on it.
    I hate to see people "hanging".....
    The Internets weird.

    There's a limit on the time you can edit a post because in the way long ago, someone got mad and went back and deleted all his posts. He had posted quite a lot and had put a lot of good information on the boards. When he deleted his stuff it left a lot of holes in the fabric of Hammock Forums. So now there is a time limit so that can't happen again.
