Not being able to edit your posts

[givememyleg]

i've never really considered who "owns" the posts, but i guess ftr since it's a public message board? but in the example you gave, i and any other mod would be more than happy to go back and edit to remove any personal information or things you would prefer not to be public.

perhaps something more like 12-24 hours would be better instead of 15 mins?

T&C cover this and say user still owns post:

I guess "right to use, reproduce, display" means that if you did edit something and remove it FTR would have the right to put it back up.

Pretty sure it's different to a lot of other forums which do take ownership. Here's an example from another forum:
