Edit statements are a waste of time.

I generally edit a post several times after posting. All they would do is just make my posts take up more space.

You must not have read everything I said..unless you think 1 extra line is too much, then I don't even know how to argue with someone who has that mindset...

I think one line in every post when you have 50 or 100 posts per page is a lot of space.  Also, in many forums it's actually 2 lines.  A blank separating one comes before the edit line.

 

In that case, I say we link edits to VGC $.  Each edit costs you $5.  Maybe people will read their posts before posting it and stop making unfinished posts that need to be edited 'several times' to be right.  If theres 50 or 100 posts in a thread, and all 50-100 are edited posts, the thread should be closed because something went seriously wrong in it.  Seriously, world-might-end-tomorrow wrong.

I don't see what the big issue with proofreading your post is before you post it.  If you have an issue with the edited line being there, then maybe you'll start to re-read what you have to say before you say it.  If theres really that much editing going on, then at the very least we can use this feature to see how ADHD our crowd really is.  I know I have my moments..
