how often do you edit your posts?

Post by cinnamonstyx »

i edit mine all the time. usually before other people post.
that way i have time to get my basic thoughts down, look at it, and then go "oh i need to reword that" or "oh i need to make this sound less jerkish". also, spelling errors abound, and sometimes i add stuff to OPs because i'm like that.

also, picka553.............

I edit other people's posts more often than my own.

On average I'd say about 3-4 times per post to make sure I sound civil, clear, and concise.

Depends on what it is. Usually two or three edits after posting and I'm done.

I only edit my posts if I either make a mistake or if I feel there is something I left out of them, so I edit about a quarter of my posts.

^This. Though in role playing, I tend to edit a bit more, mostly when I want to extend my post a little bit, or if I make more than one spelling/punctuation error.

I usually only edit my post if I notice I spelled something wrong/worded something wrong/derped and used the wrong name for something.

Though the edit usually happens within seconds of my posting.

It sucks because of how much I fail at typing sometimes and another forum I go to actually TAKES AWAY the currency you get for posting if you make an edit on that post.

"*types 2 whole paragraphs* *gets 5.0 bells* *changes an to a* *loses 5.0 bells* WTF."

I usually only edit when I made a spelling error. Sometimes, though, I also edit when I want to add a tad bit more to my post that I didn't think about at the time I sent it, which I usually try to do before someone else posts. I also edit if there was a big understanding, in which case I will inform others that I'm going back to fix it. None of these happen all that often, although the misunderstanding one happened twice to me yesterday.

Though I usually tend to edit my posts because of typos/grammar mistakes I don't catch the first time, I do sometimes finding myself editing the same post rather often. I guess I'm reckless when it comes to typing. >_>

Though, if I edit my post with more content, I'll always denote it with "EDIT: (insert text here)". Some random habit I have, but meh.

I tend to not edit my posts at all, unless a typo is annoying the hell out of me.
I have main character tendencies.

Always, I hardly go a post without saying

"crap, I can barely make sense of that, I should reword it"

or

"That sounds to jerkish, I should back it up a little"

or

"Wow, that can be interpreted it to many ways"
