Why is there no edit button on our discussion and comment posted? Since most of us need to edit our own post or discussion specially if we did something wrong like spelling, forgot to add picture (which happened to me at one of my discussion), or other valid reason. I know that by editing your post means that it will also affect your earnings, but there are plenty of ways to avoid it like locking the posts before adding your earnings and after it is added to avoid further abuse of editing. Another one is to only let a member get a few minutes to edit his/her posts after posting it to correct the mistakes you've done or add something you forgot. How about you, any ideas?

I think it might also cause issues such as people writing something they shouldn't and then if someone reports them and they change it there is no proof. It is highly unlikely there will be trolls doing this but that's one thing I can see wrong.
I don't think MyLot will do this and expect us to proof read before posting.

Yeah they could do that I suppose, other places do this if you need to edit they give a window of time. It will need to be suggested to them to see if they would want to do this :)

Yes,after posting we can't add or delete anything.We can preview what we are going to post,so that see,how it will appear for others.There should have been an edit button,but that means we can change our question every time,they give us an answer.It will be an unfair advantage.

it is going to be too hard to compute for our earnings if mylot should allow us to edit our post. unlike other forums where upon submission your earnings is set to specific amount, such as 0.02 cents a post and even if you edit it or not, it does not have a bearing on any changes made at all. Whereas for mylot, our earnings rather change and is not peg on a specific amount per post and it does vary depending on our number of posts and how well our participation is. i would say that editing posts may actually cause more disruption with this system of computation. Besides, when we need to check out what we have posted, we sure need to make use of the preview button before confirming the post we must make.

I too agreee that mylot should add an edit button. Once I posted on a post and realised that I already posted the same thing on the day before. I was trying to find a way to delete it but there was no way. Maybe there is no option because of the earnings program..
