Even having it at a minute has caused problems for moderators, for instance:

- Someone posts a naughty posts
- Moderator spots it immediately and issues infraction

BUT

by the time the infraction is issued the post has already been edited (cause the person saw the mod looking and didnt want an infraction) so the infraction then comes through with no evidence that the rule was ever broken as it doesn't store the edit history prior to the 1 minute boundary.

So quite simply, it causes (very rare) problems already, so I'm not willing to increase it

Unless theres a way you can edit the template that checks how long ago it was edited to display the message. So the message is there, just isn't shown (to reg users). That way it still displays the message, just hidden

Sometimes you can beat the system if you are fast enough! Haha but what Jamesy/Martin has said pretty much answers it.

I've beat it a few times so it's possible

Could do but thats a bit of a fuss for a tiny message at the bottom of the post that's not very obvious to start with

Having said that if one suspects that might happen it is very easy to report and then a permanent record is there for evidence before editing just in case.

The same thing would occur, the posts are edited so quickly nobody has time to do anything

1 minute is more than enough time tbh. 1 time me and lindsey were posting pictures of guys in the HxHD staff forums and well when I posted one of the pictures i suddenly realised it was a male with his 'bits' out. I was able to find a new picture and edit that post within the 1 minute time slot. Luckily no one saw it and it was just my silly mistake, but 1 minute surely must be more than enough time to edit a typo or a spelling mistake.

Make the message look prettier / Less obvious? :badgrin: or can't you just allow it to display for admins?
