Agreed! I think the edit time should be raised for the most trusted users (ie. regulars). Writing big posts and keeping them relevant is a challenge with five minutes of edit time to spare.

welcome back! unfortunately, ana left tht, but @/yuanyuan is the new community manager

as a mod, i can change your name for you but all usernames have to be atleast 3 characters, so ā€œ_zā€ wouldnā€™t be possible. lmk if youd like a different name tho

and feel free to tag me if you need anything :))

Iā€™m not FearlessPhoenix, but I assume itā€™s much less about location than finding a participant list, which while on its own canā€™t identify you, leaves traces about who you are

Just a note ā€” with the default Discourse settings, there is only the option to set post edit time for trust level 2 and above, and another post edit time for all users.

@Leaders (sorry idk who to ask) are we allowed to have alternate accounts on the forum? Because in the past Iā€™ve seen a lot of alts, and I was wondering if I can make my own, even though now thatā€™s probably not allowed.

Sadly alts are not allowed (usually) now.

nope, alternate accounts are not allowed. if you think weā€™ve overlooked an alt and you have some sort of proof, please let us know through edit history.
