Not to be a conspirator or anything, but..
It would be nice if edit history was shown to the side while we edit, or possibly even in tiny text on the bottom of posts.
It would show at the bottom of the post that it was edited on a certain date and time depending on that person's time zone. And also, if you're the owner of that post at the side it would show an edit history while and if you edited it.
Again, if possible.
Why I'm asking (Not be a conspirator, just saying what I'm seeing):
Reason #1:
I could swear, that more than once that I saw my posts had an incorrect spelling on some phrases and sentences I used when I'm not even one to miss things like that. I'm a semi-perfectionist (not full) and incorrect word usage bothers me to a certain extent.
- Also, it happened exactly two times on phrases that I
made sure had correct spelling and grammar, because those were phrases I purposely emphasized in my posts. However, upon looking at my posts at a later time or soon after even, I noticed they had a very minor and slightly strange look and was spelled incorrectly on some words.
- Beginning to get paranoid, I did a personal investigation..:
I posted posts somewhere, as if they were just my usual posts during the daytime (will remain anonymous) and I
quadruple checked them (about 5 of my posts were investigated by me) on purpose for mistakes, just out of paranoia.
Result (Later that night): .... Two words were tampered with at the end of a post's last couple of sentences..
I then thought: "Wha.. What the... That.. That's impossible.."
That's why I'm here now making a topic called "Edit History"
Reason #2:
It would be a nice addition, seeing as how it could be a great thing to have in ongoing threads such as in the Visual Novel section.
Edit:
(Later that night)
Edit 2:
No, I take that back, I meant to say,
during the investigation: it was on one post that I found such a result, I actually investigated this on about 5 of my posts.
Edit 3:
I forgot to give an example, it would automatically register as something like this at the bottom of the posts under the signature right above the Post #. For instance, mine:
