The Elixir Forum has some categories (e.g., “Community / Dev Profiles”, “Your Libraries & Projects”) whose content tends to be persistent, yet evolving. So, they would benefit from finer granularity on the edit time-out limitation.
Recently, AstonJ made the following comment in the (members only) thread Can you increase post edit time limit?:
It would be great if Discourse allowed certain sections to be set so that the thread starter can edit the first post in threads they start indefinitely. This would also be handy for things like library threads
I’d be willing to take a shot at creating a PR for this, but first I’d like to find out if the general idea is acceptable. Suggestions for how and where the configuration should be made would also be appreciated.
