Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom

Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
So. 

I wrote a post and after a few hours I come back to check on it and I spot a small but highly significant mistake in my post. I'm like oh ok that's embarrassing let me just edit it real quick. So I click edit, made the change and I click save. The message I got was something along the lines of "Can't edit posts after 120 minutes" and I'm like -_____- 

Ok fine, I'll just ask an administrator for help. So I reach out to Steel to help me out. And CD reply with "we don't edit posts that don't violate rules". So what am I supposed to do, basically the response was "idk lol".

So anyway, my stand is rules are supposed to make things easier for us and hard for spammers and rule breakers and whatever. I mean, they didn't have any problem making up rules like "misrepresenting staff actions" to hand me a ban but now that I make a small request suddenly it's "soory guy can't do we have to follow the rules down to every last detail". 

Common sense guys, will you or will you not follow every traffic rules and stop, wait at red lights if there's a alien invasion happening behind you and things start blowing up? You wouldn't! 

So I gave three suggestions(to which I got zero response) : 

*Either remove the post edit time limit altogether (reddit doesn't have this limit and works fine) 
*Or remove this rule for people exceeding 60 days of stay in this forum(my logic is we can trust people after that point) 
*OR take requests from users that want to edit posts but can't. 

I mean, somethings got to be done. Just going "idk what to do lol" or "deal with it" especially to regular posters like myself is like um, do you not want people to have a good time here? So anyway I made a poll. I don't think I'm making a unreasonable request (at least in my mind), so if you want to leave an opinion please do.
