Guess it makes sense if people were abusing it..I'm surprised. This doesn't really seem like a drama type of forum.

Another forum I'm on creates a "link" where it says the post was edited and what time..then it opens a page where you can actually view the original post before it was edited.

I feel like I'm bugging the mods when asking for my threads to be deleted. I'm weird and just hate my "problems" floating around for years.
