This is suggestion for the forums (https://forums.eveonline.com)

I suggest that you do not impose posting frequency limitations when someone edits their post.

Currently, if a player makes a post, notices a typo in the post, then corrects it, then they can submit the correction immediately, but if a second typo is noticed then they have to wait 30 or 60 seconds or something like that before submitting the correction.

There is no reason to impose posting delays on my own edits to my own post. This is the only forum I have ever known to have imposed such a restriction.

Use the preview button before using the post button.

I believe that is there so the forums doesn't get filled with spam.

While I agree with Iain Cariaba removing the delay when re-posting after an edit would not make it any easier to spam the forums than it is now.
