I think this is a golden opportunity for LET to generate more funds. Users can be charged to be allowed the privilege to edit their own posts.
Can be sold as add-on packages ranging from allowing lifetime edits to as low as 1 min. After all a word from a mouth can't be taken back once said. (unless they cough-up enough money ofcourse).

Well, if you gonna make cool down longer than 1day, I think you should put revision history, this way anyone can see what the original post was.
1 hour is a minimum, I am posting comment then editing, same thing I do in my writings. Not only grammar and shit, but also quote another thing comment, add another quote, etc. I try very hard to avoid posting twice in a row, but I came close when the editing time expired.
I still reckons we need a public edit history and virtually no edit timeout. Tickles all orifaces at once.
it was an hour before, suddenly no one recalls why its become 15mins. a poll is not necessary; a statement should suffice.
i'm with this guy, this one time.
a more important edit issue is mods changing post titles.
Just wow...
why not ?
I've changed the edit time to 1 hour.
1 USD / time for premium members.
Thanks for everyone who voted.
We've changed edit time to 1 hour.
I am also going to look into if a plugin exists to enhance the function of edit privileges. Something that logs plus adds tiers for OP vs. comments to have separate time settings would be ideal.
10 minutes
or/and
always allow but with a snapshot
English is not my native language, and sometimes need to correct my 'typo' after the comment. ..or add some extra sentences without create a new one. Because of this, the 'edit' option (sadly) is my friend
The 1 hour limit is perfect for me. For transparency reasons It can be acceptable for me, if the comment (edit) history accessible for Moderators, Admins (or registered users only maximum).
Maybe I remember wrong, but the comments wasn't previously editable for 1 hours?
1 hour is good, that's plenty of time to get your post right.
Agreed.
Hopefully I can find a plugin that gives us more options, but for now, 1 hour makes sense to me. Seems like its a popular choice given the poll results.
The poll also showed quite a trend towards preferring unlimited time for edits, though I don't think that should be done without some other compromise to ensure it doesn't cause chaos.
I wouldn't know anything about plugins but I hope you manage to find something.
Thank you for the change back to 1 hour.
I'd be concerned of such an important setting being changed without notice or discussion and nobody with access admits doing it intentionally or unintentionally.
Make it append only
You should use some of the funds to hire a developer instead of just writers and video editors.
(edit) Looks like you posted that you are right after my comment!
Looking at the changelog for the latest Vanilla OSS code base it seems like now might be the time to start the work of transitioning.
I guess a time period between 1 hour to 1 day would be optimal for letting users edit their comments.
Personally, I do not think it is really necessary to impose any time limit on post editing.
