Now that the site is under new management I'd like to propose a few suggestions. If this site is to continue to be relevant when it's up against Facebook it needs to offer us the ability to have control over our posts. I'd like to be able to:
1) Edit my own posts
2) Use grown-up language without auto-censoring
I understood Fred's reason to impose rule, however, that was a different time. There has been more than 5 years of civil discussion. Even the rare hot topic is still civil. Gone are the days of anonymous accounts, flame wars, and general bitchery.
Just something for the new management to consider. Thanks for keeping this site running Sam.
