Author Topic: Why can't we edit posts in the help section?  (Read 630 times)

I saw someone post a noedit in the help section today and it brought this topic up to me. Why exactly are we not allowed to edit posts in the help section? Anyone have any idea why?

i think it was something about like, lets say somebody edited their post to just say "FIXED" and then somebody had the same problem. They would never know the answer. At least, i know that for the topic

EDIT: (straight from help section rules)

Q: Why can't I edit posts in the help section?
A: There is a severe problem where people edit their post to remove their question after their problem is resolved.  This prevents future visitors who have the same problem from finding the answer. 

Ah, makes sense. Thanks bro.
