Well, alot of posts (mainly mine, gary's and posts of "newbies") have plenty of grammatical errors/horrible spelling, so, how about "Suggest edit" link? Using PM would cause major overflow of inbox...

Great idea.

I think that would go terribly wrong.
If people started editing other posts, they'd just put something bad.

Obviously you wouldn't be allowed to do that,
You can only do it to your own posts if you think you mispelled something and you want to know the correct spelling.

They don't mean to actually edit their post. They mean like, a button that sends a message that says something like:

(Username) has suggested that you edit your post from (display message) to (display suggested message).

It would be abused, obviously.

And its pointless anyway. Since when were people picky about grammar on this site.

Sounds like a great idea.

I think that if you make a spelling mistake, I think that the word that is mispelled should highlight in red and maybe a suggestion box will appear next to it...

If so, please an option to turn it off. Mozilla spelling checks annoy me.

Also, enableable/disablesble "lock Suggest edit" option at post (trought Edit button), and "blacklist" for theese would be nice

@GamingMaster_76: Not something like "Spell check", but user-send suggestion messages (Like I said, something like google translator contributions...)

I still think there should be an option to turn it off either way. smilie

The problem though is you could get heaps of spam.

What about where it says who last edited it?

#24 Posted: 21:46:10 28/04/2010
It would either say the poster's username or dark52.

Its seems pointless. I'd rather the person learned on their own.

It's a good idea, but it will just get abused. The younger people will just use it for fun.
