Allow users to edit

[frater secessus]

in a perfect world i would be fine with it but this world is far from perfect,my worry is a user goes off the rails and edits 500 posts to a picture of a gaping asshole and i have to go back and delete them all  

so if anyone want to volunteer to edit the gaping asshole out of 500 post i'll turn it off

The MyBB manual suggests these approaches:

• purge user
  
• delete posts option when deleting user
  

I don't know how up to date the info is.  I have not run a MyBB board.  I will say that in a couple decades participating in forums I've never seen anyone go back and mass-edit their own posts.  That would take much longer to do than to remove them.  

My criticism of the timeout is not directed at this forum in particular nor any kind of dig at Gary;  I've said the same on CRVL before this fine forum was launched.  VDF and CRVL are literally the only two forums in those decades where I have encountered an editing time limit.
