Editing posts and the flooding filter

[ChocolateFrog]

It's frustrating when you post something and immediately notice a mistake but have to wait for the anti-flooding filter while hoping you can edit it before the post is quoted.

Can the edit function be excluded from the anti-flooding feature?

[snuffy]

Yes indeed. I often do just that. It annoys me greatly.

Because I'm not flooding anything.

You only have to wait about a minute if that, and any changes don't show up as an edit when you repost so can't see the problem.

True, but it's still annoying.

You post your comment and then instantly spot a mistake, go to edit and and it refuses to let you.

But only for a few seconds.

Mind you time isn't an issue for me being retired

Yes, I do. But even then it's easy to miss things. Then after posting, you see them.

Makes you wonder what's the rush to post ?
