I have thought about that (other forums have like half hour windows), but in light of the character of the DDJT forums, I figure it isn’t really an issue. What you are describing, Alchemy, is behaviour as seen on other forums. We try very hard to keep the mood here friendly, positive and constructive. So I don’t think we have encountered changed posts due to differences in opinions or people doing it to make them feel better and such. I actually dare say we don’t have the trolls you mention. It’s just not that kind of place.
Quite frankly, if it ever becomes such a place, I will resign immediately.
So, while I agree with this happening at other forums, I’d like to keep on believing that people find a safe haven here, where they can express whatever opinion they like. And while not everyone will agree or some may even disagree totally, all of it is done with the utmost respect.
On a practical side. If we were to entertain a timed period, I’d say half an hour would be fine to be able to change your post without having to state a reason (this should be enough to correct typo’s and such). After the half hour you should still be able to change the article, but only with a stated reason so everyone can see you changed it and the reason you gave for it.
