Is it possible to add a tool that would make a certain post by someone edited indefinitely long and by any member within the forum?
As a defense, perhaps that tool will be only available from MCP and be accessible to a staff. Also, the ones who can edit that must be at least a craftsman?
I am not sure if this is a good idea, but I believe such tools are needed sometimes. For example, assume I am writing a thread concerning the recent developments on twin prime, just like the one in Useful Mathematical Resource forum. The developments are on-going, so one needs to constantly edit it after a few weeks to keep everyone informed about this, as well as adding more references. But after 24 hours, the editing ability is expired and I cannot edit it anymore. I am not complaining, but if such a tool was available, I would have PM'd an MHB staff requesting to activate the community posting ability. Thus, after reviewing the post on whether or not it is worthed, the staff will activate the ability, thus any of the forum member at least an MHB craftsman can edit the recent on-going developments in.
I believe I have pointed out the necessities as well as defensive anti-spam or troll measures. But perhaps VB does not support such tools? Perhaps it needs too much coding to add in? In such cases, no big deal.
Thank you for your considerations
