What about not giving the PBPP while editing a post that was written one hour ago? I think thats the best idea. you could still edit posts like normal, but after the hour not get anything for them I also believe that idea is a lot better. That makes it easier to edit your own posts without making cheating possible. _________________ My new site My OpenTTD data package

That makes it easier to edit your own posts without making cheating possible. What's the difference from giving and not giving PBPP? When you edit your post to contain your normal post, the former post's PBPP will get deducted, and you get back the normal post's PBPP. Still the same, right? Let me put it simply: I copy and pasted something to my post. I submitted it. I get 55 PBPP. I then edit it then let it contain my normal post, which I get 2 PBPP. But when you edit it, 55 PBPP is deducted and you get 2 PBPP. Still the same, right? _________________ 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342 11706798214808651328230664709384460955058223172535940812848111745028410270193852110555964462294 89549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133 9360726024

So if Lifeless would start allowing edits after the 60 minute period, it would be a better idea to turn the point-giving off. _________________ My new site My OpenTTD data package

Well I think overall the topic not showing up at the top of the list is the problem. Maybe it could be done with some modifications, but I am not sure. And maybe edits should come with reasons like in vBulletin. _________________ 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342 11706798214808651328230664709384460955058223172535940812848111745028410270193852110555964462294 89549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133 9360726024
