SiameseDream, this isn't simply a Forum. This is a Game.

You post in The Streets is akin to you talking, how can you possibly then edit what you said? It's not practical. The admins have stated this time and again over the years that they will not allow people to Edit posts in the streets.

That's why you have a feature called Back Alley. You can can create your post there and re-write as much as you like then move your own thread to the streets for people to see. Its not hard.

Also, to add.

I literally read one word, lol, of this text my apologies for incorrectly answering (Balls, you deserved that comment btw) . To add, when you post within the streets you are essentially talking, that is what the preview button is for -to preview what is written. So, yes. The admins did what was needed, they could've just deleted the thread altogether, be thankful.
