Manlobbi:Time-limited editing?

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Just an idea: What about like WhatsApp allowing editing for 15min or so after posting?

Would not only enable people to quick to push "Send" (ahemm, me)

a) to correct their mistakes
b) to add what they forgot
c) but - and especially you should like that - result in a more civilised tone, because after posting polutical* posts in ire one has some minutes to cool down and regret what one just posted, softening it, making it non-attacking

*Left unchanged as typed by purpose 😉
