A post preview feature would be rather nice, as would having a different way to register edits. I don't mind them, but the placement is rather ugly. As it is, though, they're the least of my problems, just a mite annoying.

On both the forum and the wiki, I'm a Serial Tweaker.

It's probably terminal.

I edit things a lot, because I want to make sense.

Also, it's inevitable when you get ninja'd.

I also can't count, so I am often going back and adding more or less [up]s to my post.

I do it a lot despite proofreading my posts. This is usually because I'll somehow miss a huge typo and have to fix it lest I look like an idiot.

There's also the problem with getting ninja'd when I'm using [up]'s, as well as often having too few (and once, too many) [up]'s.

I also do it when I remember another thing I wanted to add or when I fuck up some formatting (like accidentally forgetting to close quoteblocks)

So, it's a rare occurance to see one of my posts without an "edited [D M Y H:M:S] by Malph" tag.

I edit my posts a lot.

Sometimes I even go back and edit really old posts to confuse anyone reading over my old posts for some reason.

I do it if I make a really, REALLY stupid typo or if I forget something in there.

The only thing I hate about editing my posts is that if I happen to do it after a few other posts have been made, it makes it look like I changed the contents to fit my own agenda in light of the later posts, which I never do but am always paranoid of being accused of. But, then, I'm paranoid of a lot of stupid things.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

I'm going to be more careful when I make post so I wouldn't have to edit my posts.

It helps to use Notepad when making larger than normal posts.

I generally only edit my posts if I make a typo or someone ninjas me and I want to respond to them. As such, I'm not exactly forced to make a habit of it.

I guess we could go... wherever we please.

Am I the only person who doesn't like having a single word on one line? Not the intentional This! Is! SPARTA! kind, but just having the last word of a sentence on its own line?

It just irritates me for some reason.

I try and not to edit my posts, I only edit them if I was ninja'd, messed up the formatting in my post, or worded something wrong and had to change it so it makes more sense.

It seems to me that using @(the name of troper you are addressing) helps to get rid of the need of editting due to ninja.

I'm a perfectionist. Nuff said.

Also, I may not have time to over-proofread if a thread is moving at the rate of 90 posts per minute.
