Limit window for being able to edit your post/comment

There have been several threads where posters or commenters have edited their previous comments to the point where the thread is unintelligible. I think it's great that we can go back and fix our posts, but I propose that there should be a time limit. 

For example, I could come back within 15 minutes to update this post, but after 15 minutes I would not be able to update.

  • Agreed, I know several online forums and comment streams do this

  • I don't like this because a lot of forum threads are created as guides/helpful info and it wouldn't really work if I can't update the thread a month later with new information.

    Perhaps instead edited posts should say something like "Last edited by [username] 19 minutes ago". This way you would know that the post wasn't original.

  • Guides can be on the Glitch Strategy Wiki.  I agree that thread editing here needs a time limit.
