Alright everyone, seriously, is it so hard to proof-read your posts before you press that "Post Comment" button on Startlike? It's seriously irritating to see all the typos and misspellings in comments.
Well, we've decided to help you out with your problems. In commemoration of the
Saturn V launch 40 years ago, today, we are launching a new feature on Startlike! Now, we can't read your mind or make you magically know how to spell all words in the english dictionary, but we can do the next best thing..
We're going to let you start editing your comments! Alright, we know this has nothing to do with the Apollo launch, or the moon, - but we're advancing technology here, making progress, forging new frontiers! So, maybe it does have something to do with Saturn V after all! No more worries about fat-fingering your keyboard during a comment, or looking like a doofus when you use the wrong "there" or "too!" From here on, you'll be able to edit your comments for five minutes after posting them!
This five minute window was not decided on lightly. We made the conscious decision to limit the time in which a user can edit a comment, and here's why. As comments were (before you were able to edit), you said whatever it was that you said, and that was it. What we mean to say is, there was a certain amount of liability that came with writing a comment. We believe it is in the best interest of the Startlike community that everyone be responsible about what they think should be posted in the comments, and be held accountable for what they do post. This has been our philosophy all along, and is one of the driving reasons behind why we chose to use
Facebook Connect as our primary authentication mechanism.
Now that you're able to fix your mistakes, you should be able to avoid any serious run-ins with the grammar police!
Happy Commenting Everyone!

PS. Make sure you check out the
Startlike Space channel over the next week or so, we will be running awesome images in tribute to the Apollo 11!
