    Do we really need to be told and reminded how many times we made a mistake and had to edit a post?

    Some of us are drinkers 🍚 or smokers 🚎 ...or both ðŸĪŠ

    4 edits for affect.

    In fact I think the count was established after people edited their posts and replies didn't fit afterwards...

    Ya I can see some edits not lining up with replies...but still...

    You get to 4 or 5 edits and it's embarrassing ðŸ˜ģ

    No need for a scorecard...

    There's a reason for that little "preview before post" tickbox just below the typing box. It was added years ago when this topic last appeared in Site Ideas. You can clean up your post before it goes out to the world.
    Of course, it isn't useful when you're soberly reading what you posted in a fit of drunken insanity the night before. ðŸ˜Ļ

    @Kewpie

    In the morning I check my forum posts to see how bad I was.

    Lately I've been good 😉

    It's always the losers who complain about displaying the score.

    You are almost never "good".

    @kevin-eleven removed their quoted post
    Is it just my perception or are we seeing more "removed by poster" items to scroll through these days?
    Maybe it's a bit like playing chess on here.
    If posters would take a minute to review their post before pressing the "post" button?

    Oh now, at one time I had "The Editor" as my fake title. Just roll with it. 😉

    Shortly after a mail delivery the other day, I noticed one of my garden gnomes was missing.
    I expect it was removed by poster

    Certainly so if Keven Eleven has been online.

    Reading his stuff is like being on Snapchat!
