Here's what happens with wide open edit windows. A member initiates a thread and others contribute over three or four days including telling the OP there's something wrong with his story. The OP goes back 3 days later, alters his post and says "No, I never said that... I said this." The entire forum turns to jelly if there's no short window for editing threads.
Some people take more than a few days to notice their spelling errors. Some don't even notice if they are pointed out in print.
I don't own this forum so I don't make the rules but I understand them. People who own their own forums (fora) can make their own rules.
The time limit is 120 minutes as it says in the forum documentation. You still have time to fix "unstand".
By the way, the thread you have awakened was last updated 04-28-2019, 10:56 PM.
