“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
you are correct. We need to do something about this...thoughts? Maybe after ~48 hours we make it so users can't edit it?
Devils advocate, if you eliminate the ability for a user to delete or edit you could share people away from contributing. I think people post stuff that is meant to help and they creepy users use it to identify the person.
The ability to tweak your posts is valuable. The sites a professional place, but it's also where people go to discuss issues, argue, exchange ideas. Sometimes things change and professionally you need to cover your ass.
I did think of that. As suggested, some sort of time limit on the ability to delete/edit might strike a balance by allowing people to rethink anything they've foolishly posted without devolving the site. In the end, this is an anonymous message board and people can just be careful with the information they choose to make available or use the PM function if they want to provide potentially personal details.
As a particular example, I answered someone in a thread about identifying distressed debt investments. This poster didn't provide any details about why, where he worked, or where (or even if) he was interviewing anywhere. But he deleted it anyways. There were some (moderately) helpful answers in the thread, but it'll be hard for people to find in posterity.
And from my perspective, I've been in finance for 5 years now and don't have a need to use this forum as a learning tool at this point (for the most part). But I don't think I'm just answering questions for the immediate poster, but helping people out in the future. Without being able to see the questions that are asked, the answers become much less relevant, and make me less inclined to be helpful if I'm just being "used" for that one person's need.
also a fair point...I think the reason we allowed full editing of your own posts is initially because we were getting so many requests from users that wanted to remove or change stuff that it was overwhelming our small staff here at WSO.
...wondering if we can do this in a smarter way...
I think the issue is that when you edit an old post it gets bumped up instead of staying in the stack. Frankly, you could charge for large scale cleanings haha.
I wonder if the complaint really is with people that have like multiple posts because of clicking submit too much and then retitle things "delete". Clutters up the recent posts section. Wonder if it is a lag in updating or the persons internet connection.
Agree with TNA. This will drive users away. The majority of people don't want to be identified on this forum for various reasons, the thought of not being able to edit or potentially having to go through more hassle than just clicking a button to remove any incriminating posts is not a good idea.
I've posted replies that have revealed a decent amount of information about myself or someone else, so I've redacted them out of privacy. I think that's fair to do, and would be the most likely reason I'd take something down. That being said, if someone makes an informational post or reply, what would their incentive be to take it down? Even if something's embarrassing but anonymous, what's the problem in keeping it up? Do you really see that many posts that have been deleted that would have been a significant value-add to WSO?
I don't know if this is feasible given the amount of new posts on the website on a daily basis...but is there a way for mods or someone to tag certain posts as editable or not editable? For example, let's say an AMA gets 100 posts (or w/e) a mod can tag that thread as an "AMA topic" (or maybe this can be done automatically if certain conditions are met). This tag would allow someone to edit the details in the future in case someone identifies the person who started the AMA and he/she is uncomfortable with that.
If someone answers an "identifying distressed debt investments" type question and it becomes really popular (+15 sbs or w/e) it can automatically be tagged as a "finance question" or w/e and the thread is locked from making changes?
Seconded on this. 48 hrs editing i like.
Make it so mod approval is required for edits after 48 hrs
