Yes, but only a few character's worth of it (so as to fix mistakes, but be unable to greatly modify the context of the shout) :S

No, because I am not Adrian and I honestly don't want to be able to edit my posts in the shoutbox. Huh

So then who is this other one...? Dodgy And why is leo-rcc also Adrian? I call multiple accounts: ban them (fr0d0, leo-rcc, Adrain Hayter) all! Tiny Tiger

Evidently you haven't seen how many times we must post an entire new shout with 'was*', 'fr0d0*', 'Left*', 'penguin*', etc. There are some mistakes that change the meaning of sentences entirely... example:

Line two: runt*
Line one: Eilonnwy is a cunt.

There are many more such examples that can be observed in almost every sentence... you could make the same argument of "i don't care for a couple typos on a message so short" for most of our posts... yet the inability to edit our posts (as with the shoutbox) ultimately makes the people of this forum appear dyslexic, say things they don't mean by accident, and in general mucks things up. Hence why I am a bit tired of it happening and want it to change.

The second option is for people who don't take it on faith that others will use the editing responsibly... it's a regulation more or less, that I'm interested in seeing why people want/don't want Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
