So why is it I was able to modify/delete my previous posts but now I'm not able to? I looked at the help section and it says I should but the modify button isn't there anymore. Only notify.

After a certain time period you can no longer modify posts.

Darth Tepes is correct.  That time frame is one hour.

The same amount of time it takes to award a specific member an additional force point.

I've been a moderator and admin on a few forums, and I can tell you this:  There's an old spammer trick.  Sometimes, they will post something seemingly innocent.  Then they'll wait a few days, until after the moderators have seen the post, and come back and modify it to add external links.  By limiting edit times to an hour, that's not possible here.  That's probably the thinking.  Most people who edit posts do so immediately to fix spelling errors or add additional information.  For anything you want to correct or add after that hour, you can always leave another reply with the relevant information.

Spam is a major issue on forums, but they seem to have it well in check here.  That's no doubt due to both an alert staff and anti-spam measures like this.

As a moderator can you override that for someone on a specific post as an exception with given explanation?

Moderators can edit anything anytime they want to.  If you ask one to modify something with good reason, they probably will.

Agreed  ^^^.

Ask politely. Smiley

Jedi polite, not Sith polite.

In other words, "If you would be so kind, can you make this change to this post, please?" will work.

Saying "If you do me this favor, I will be kind enough to not saber your arms and legs off and force choke your puppy until its eyeballs pop out" will most definitely not work.

Mad Science means never stopping to ask "What's the worst that could happen?"

Yes, I meant "nice" polite.  Grin

Unless you invent a real lightsaber and physically approach him.
