Theres nothing wrong about it, simply check your text before pressing the enter button.
It could be easily abused If the flood protection would be removed.
People could troll alot easier.
from my side - Support
Again, I saw someone would come and say something like this.
I get that the 30 seconds are there to stop people from spamming the edit button. But I don't get how people can abuse and troll by changing their posts. And checking my text, I agree is a good thing I should do, but almost everyone can't be bothered to read their text again, especially a giant block of text.
And I do not get why people think using the edit button is spamming and is "Flooding" - hence why it is called "Flood Protection".
Please go a bit more in depth about how people can troll and abuse the edit button.
EDIT: From what I got, this is how you think people can troll and abuse:
Again, people can just screencap or quote the thing.
Or even better yet (But will take a lot of time), just make a feature with forum mods that allows them to see how a post looked like before it was edited.
Both methods work fine though.
EDIT 2: Or maybe just reduce the flood protection time for edits from 30 seconds to 5 or 10 seconds.
