Exactly. I think it should be allowed here, if anything.
Even if you want to change your price, good luck with that.
Better start a new thread.

As long as the site admins are okay with new threads popping up from time to time, then so be it. They can run it as they wish.

I just haven't run into this "what you put down is final" type of mentality at other major forums I visit.

I have a thread where I'm selling something ... I decided it's not the right season for it, so I would like to have the thread altered (locked) and more less deleted because I don't want people seeing that I had the item ...
I don't think there's anything wrong with that, as someone who has something he wants to sell.

However, because I posted it here, it's locked on the CCA Forum forever, since I can't edit it, nor would locking it do a whole lot. It needs to be deleted altogether.

Lovely.

I've got my chisel and hammer here - let's etch this stuff in STONE!

Has that weasel practice been that much of a problem? The only time I've seen threads edited in such a way that the orginal post was vastly changed was when the mods stepped in and changed them (one that made me laugh out loud was when Dukk editted a user's inappropriate comment to read "I'm a whiney bitch.") But other than the mods themselves editing user posts, I have yet to see original content edited so drastically to change the initial intent of the post.

Contact an admin. He will lock it for you.

It was a big problem in the past. The settings were changed and I see no reason to revert them. It has been this way since 2006, early '07.
