It has always been the case on Inward Quest that 60 minutes after posting a comment, it becomes permanent and the edit button disappears. We have now extended this 60 minute time limit to:
We are doing this because we've noticed an increasing number of instances where some users have been selectively (sometimes maliciously) deleting comments and answers from days, months or years ago that then lead to existing question threads becoming incomprehensible or misleading. In summary, you have 60 minutes after making a posting to change your mind and delete the comment, answer or question before it becomes permanent. Note that this time limit applies to deletions only. You can continue to edit any existing question or answer of yours at any time. And users with more than 2,000 karma points can continue to edit other users' questions and answers at any time. We allow this because any user can track the changes that have been made by clicking on the "edited" link under any edited question or answer, so no posted information is lost

This may also cause problems because I remember when Jai excitedly posted something that she really believed in. It sat for two or three days and even got a down vote so she deleted it. We won't be able to delete flops that no one wants. Sixty minutes is short to see if a question is appreciated or rejected. It was some Wicki thing she posted, she may remember better than I do. My memory isn't so great even from day to day. 3
"I remember when Jai excitedly posted something that she really believed in" - Isn't this just a self-worth/self-esteem issue? Why does it matter what anyone else thinks if you really believe in something on-topic and post it? I post stuff I believe in all the time and, to be honest, I don't really care that much if anyone else likes it or not. Having a natural (virtual) "Big Mouth" helps a bit as well, of course :) If, at least, I'm true to myself then it can't be a "flop", can it? :)

@Stingray If no one likes it, it is not helping anyone and is just wasting hard drive space on IQ. In other words you find out what you thought was so great is really worthless. No one cares, and no one finds any value from it. That rejection is disappointing so I see why she does that.

@Wade Casaldi - So you're saying that you judge the worth of something that you believe in not by your own feelings about it, but by what a relatively small group of people on IQ think of it...and based upon whether that group can or cannot be bothered to vote for it? Yikes, that's a painful way to live :) As for hard drive space, I suspect that just one uploaded picture is probably worth a thousand text posts so I don't think writing a few paragraphs is going to hurt anyone :)

@Stingray Good point, you are right, that is ignoring the God within. That should come first before everything outside! Otherwise we are giving our power and authority away, saying I am not a good as, my opinion is not as valid as etc... Agreed, thanks Stingray. :-)

@Wade-for me this raises an important point, that down votes can be just as instructive as up votes ... when we are in a conflictual situation, our bodies let us know by "hurting" ... :)

@Wade Casaldi At the current rate, our hard drive space will run out in about 50 years so it is not a problem

@Simon Templeton - Good idea! It was getting confused!
