    Don't make it show you edited unless someone has posted after you.

    i think the edit will stay, its useful for showing if people edit their post to scam/ mislead someone.

    example: somebody buys something, the person then changes the price and asks for more credits.
    the edit would show that he edited before or after the other person bought it.
    another example: somebody changes rules in a battle or makes the stake higher.

    Well the edit button definatly has to stay, and definatly should say "Last edited by: *****
    The main reason is to prevent scams and mishaps, like in the example posted above.

    But then, little kids would take advantage, and think they are slick by changing prices around without people noticing or whatnot..This could definatly screw things up. I say it stays how it is.

    Its not like the Edit line is obnoxious or anything. Its just a tiny little text line. I don't see what the big deal is.

    I would also like to see the edit button move to this rule. If people are so worried about them changing prices than they can just post (which they do anyways). I don't see how this could affect prices. If he says it's 15 credits at first than raises it and you post saying you want it at that price it's not like it's a problem at all :huh:

    When I remove spelling mistakes its rather annoying to see the edited by whomever at this time. Give people the option to have that choice to put that "edited by" in their post.
