I'm a constant editor but only in the first 5 minutes or so after I write my post. I guess there's some time limit there before it says something like:
Last Edited by Canuck; Today at 06:14 PM. That's what I rush to beat. What's the rule on when that appears?
By the next day, my post is usually buried or out of my mind, and I can only find it from going to my profile and following it up. I agree with the "too late" to edit if it makes it easier for the mods, even though sometime I cringe at what I wrote and want to change it, or YIKES! -> I see some glaring grammatical error. I guess for someone who suffers from OCD it must be really bad not to be able to edit, but otherwise, who gives a youknowwhat if we can't edit our posts the next day. We're not even using our real names! (Well, most of us anyways.)
With regard to contributions, this is news to me. I never even knew there was a contributing section. How much are people contributing and why? Now, don't jump all over me with the "why?" part, but in my opinion, no one should ask for money unless financials are disclosed or obvious. I take that back, anyone can ask for money whenever or for whatever they want. I just don't like to contribute to anyone unless I know it's needed. I see this site ranks:
Edit. Cutting and pasting the ranking made a mess. It reads: PR Quality:
Very Strong You can see all the rankings here:

If the site is making money off advertising, then perhaps I, and other "senior members"
, (in fact, everyone posting here for the many "guests" to read - drawing clicks to this site) are what makes this site what it is and draws in the advertising? Isn't that a "contributing member" too? But perhaps this site is losing money? Or, perhaps a lot of unpaid work goes into this site by the owner (who I assume gets this money) and contributing helps out him/her who is very deserving of the same? Maybe I just missed the disclosed financials? So many questions! If the financials are kept private, I understand completely. But if that's the case, I'd rather up my monthly contribution to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society than offer funds here, because I just don't know if my funds are going to increase revenues for an already profitable website, although there's certainty nothing wrong with that. I'd just rather give to those ramming boats into the whalers, and hiring lawyer to try to keep them out jail. That's all.
