Controlling Post - Editing Posted Content by Others

I also recommend, instead of the potentially problematic solution of editing other people’s posts, which is rather poor manners even if one is the admin, to add the updated text to a comment instead or ask the forum member to edit their comment with your suggestion. Those two options keep people from leaving your forum, as there are some people who find it very upsetting to have their communication altered to someone else’s viewpoint on what is “more correct”.

I see, thanks for sharing that, it will help us to inform our decision better. I added the request to the Wix Forum wish list. 

However, we do think that individuals should be free to express their thoughts in the style they want want (maybe the full caps were used on purpose?). This is a sensitive subject anyway and there are ethical clashes. We need to consider it more.

Here’s a suggestion for now, you could create a post with forum guidelines and pin it so users are aware of how to write / behave in your forum.

Hi, there's no such option.

We- Wix Forum developers, would like to understand your case: why do you have a need to edit someone's posts? And what do you think about the ethical side of this matter (say, changing facts / the original language/ etc)?

Let us understand, thank you!
