SN feature request: Can we have an option to edit posts and comments later on?

I’m not sure if this has been requested before, but is there a specific reason this feature isn’t available?

@siggy47 has probably been the main proponent of permanently editable posts.

It comes up for discussion every so often. A lot of cool features took a backseat to all the wallet stuff.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to some cool features! What cool feature do you think should be added?

Off the top of my head:

shared territory ownership
sub-territories
custom reply fees
series post type
cross-posting
territory specific rewards systems

I'm a big fan of all of these, though my #1 and #2 would be series posts and crossposting

Wow, I like the idea of sub-territories and shared territory ownership. But what do you mean by custom reply fees? Is it the reply we make to someone's post or comment? It's 1 sat or CC; do you want to pay more for it, or is it something else?

Hoping @k00b and @ek notice your comment! 🤞

Off the top of my head:

paying for mentioning people

😅 Anyway, most of these are planned, "custom reply fees" has already been implemented in a PR but hasn't been merged yet.

I should've spelled to "Pay-to-post" lol

Off the top of my head:

Paying to access Stacker News after hitting a limit of 10 times a day.

Hold on @k00b, some people aren't made of money here 😂.

I forgot about paying to mention people (not surprised you didn't, though, @k00b). Yes, that's another cool idea.

Yeah, the idea is that either the territory or the OP can set the price of replying to posts/comments.

I do think it should be higher, but that's not the point. The point is that it should be something we can alter. When I found Stacker News, posts were only 1 sat and changing it was a big deal, but it's been a massively positive change.

Understood! Thank you.

I personally think that a territory owner being able to change the comment fee is already a game changer as-is. I fear that if OPs too were able to do that, it could become abusive really quick

One of the purposes is spam management and the OP is the one getting notified whenever someone responds.

I see it clearly now, thanks! Maybe something with a range (settable by territory owner) to stop them from creating zombie posts

I think I've seen it suggested that this feature come with a fee to prevent abuse. Personally, I just make sure I'm ready to keep my posts permanent.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @NovaRift OP 9 Jan

Yeah I agree, this should be done to prevent abuse of the feature. It should come with a paid structure, so we pay to edit.

You have 10 minutes, do you think it should be longer?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @NovaRift OP 9 Jan

I know that, but just take an instance where I posted something and later want to add more to it.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @chaoticalHeavy 9 Jan

Just add a comment at that point.
