Very true, FA.
I think it's great that you are now locking posts in as permanent after 3 days. On most other boards I'm on, it's only an hour, or one day. On one board, you can edit up to an hour, but never delete. People need to know that they must take responsibility for what they say, because, like you posted, it is out there for thousands of strangers to read. Don't post anything you don't want to go on record as saying. It isn't right for people to come back and 'mass delete' everything they have said, then deny it, and accuse others of lying on them for having seen it. Everyone should have their posts locked in as permanent, and there should even be a time limit on editing. People can reconsider within the first hours or day, then it stays. This should make everyone more careful about what they say and do here.
