Aevann mentioned he'd put the edit logging feature to a site vote. Figure I'll get some truescore out of it since he's letting it sit for a bit
The Feature
As implemented right now, if you edit a comment or post more than three minutes after making it, the Edit tag turns into a hyperlink leading to the full text of every previous version of the comment. The Author of the comment, as well as Jannies, can click this and read all versions of your comment.
Why care?
This makes removing information from the website even more impossible, on top of a previous update that shortened the seven day grace period to edit a comment or post to THREE DAYS. Click here to find out the type of person you could be giving unretractable information to.
What's some use you guys have gotten out of the edit logging feature, lately? Have your feelings on it changed?
Aevann says the use case is for drafting effortposts and preventing time-wasting mistakes, but tbh I'm not convinced it's of much help when the text editor is naked and the preview feature doesn't really give you an idea of what your post will look like with half the features- better to work in notepad.
!effortposters this feature carries on in your name so definitely make your voices heard!
To the rest of us !dramatards and !poll_voters, edit logging affects everyone.

If nobody cares then let me get laughed out of the public eye for freaking out over nothing.
But so far it looks like a lotta users weren't even aware of the change, and the poll shows that time hasn't warmed people up to it.

Back in my day we just used to spread rumors and believe them whole-heartedly. We didn't need to rummage through people's edits like Sherlock Holmes. I blame Kiwi Farms influence over our embittered and neurodivergent users.

You and Level 5 admins can review the entire edit history of your comments. If you edit this comment, the “edit” tag next to the comment # will be a hyperlink where you can read everything ^^
This has been implemented for 50 days or so, and after some initial feedback, Aevann said he was gonna put the feature to a site vote. I'm just holding public opinion polls in the meantime ^^

About 50 days ago, Aevann added the edit log feature, which saves every version of your comments and posts so that level 5 admins (and you!) can read them. You can see for yourself if you edit this comment and click the “edited” hyperlink next to your comment #
I'm not much a fan of the feature, myself. wbu?

Around 50 days ago Aevann made it so he can read the shit you edit out. The “Edited such-and-such time ago” tag is a hyperlink that lets you read them too

The edit logging feature! It creates a running log of every version of your comments and posts, so that you and level 5 admins can rifle through them in perpetuity
You can see for yourself by editing something and clicking the hyperlink edited tag

Tag me in metashit. Just for you to tell me to go to your profile and read your last post. Go to your last post and you're redirecting me to another post. About some stupid poll about some dumb feature I don't know about and probably wouldn't give a shit about if I spent the ten minutes figuring out what it is.
Do you want me to come to your house and frick you up?
