Two days ago, when this post came up, editing the old post immediately became impossible

Update to self post edit time limit + deletion guidelines

By now, we’ve encountered a handful of mass post deletion/wipe efforts or requests that have made the mod team think more about how we handle changing/deleting past posts. We believe our job as mods is to maintain the health of the website and community. Editing and deleting large numbers of historical posts goes against that goal. It leaves big holes in site history and broken links. Plus, deleting one person’s topics also deletes other users’ posts. To that end, I’ve changed the edit time li…

To be honest, the thing I’m most upset about is

Hugecat didn’t mention it beforehand before changed rules

When the page was overloaded before, I saw a blue mark called ‘to extreme load~’
Even in this way, You could’ve given us a notice before it changed

“Change” , I also think it’s necessary for the community to go in a good direction
But if we suddenly change the regulations in this way, we are bound to be confused

The number of eroscript accounts alone is close to 50,000

And there are at least thousands of people see every day
The number of people who post posts is also small in proportion to the total number, Still, hundreds of people posting
It’s a lot

Now, this has thrown a lot of people into confusion

Boycott eroscript

As many have already noticed, the ability to edit and delete their old themes has recently been changed. details are described here Update to self post edit time limit + deletion guidelines Many users, including me, this was perceived negatively. These changes primarily interfere with the most active part of the community: script authors and developers of related programs. Now we can’t keep up-to-date information in our topics. Also, now your intellectual property does not belong to you, as y…

I just put this in because it’s funny

Anyways, Trust is broken in an instant

How can i trust you when you suddenly change the rules
I’m a pessimistic person, so I have no choice but to think in a worse way
Unless you tell me beforehand

I think it’s right to at least make an announcement in advance or say, “I’m going to change it in this direction.”

That way, we can prepare in advance
It could be a better story

Please notify me at least a week to a month in advance
It’s my little wish

Honestly idk if its possible with discourse but even a beta or test version of the update to get feedback on how it feels before committing to the change would be good to gauge how fuctional the update would be. If not then what 99dm said give an announcement with some anticipation. This can also be a good way to see any pitfall that werent obvious before

Update to self post edit time limit + deletion guidelines

Hi all, I just wanted to post here and say that we (the mod team) definitely didn’t expect this much backlash when discussing the change amongst ourselves, which was probably short-sighted of us, but that’s what you get when your site is run by a handful of volunteers and not a team of professionals I’ve reverted the changes - once hugecat is back from overseas we’ll and take another look at the issue that we were trying to address.
