We own a 2015 Kia Soul EX 2.0 litre. Decent little car but you have to provide maintenance in function of the issues that come with a GDI engine. (GDI = gasoline direct injection).
The Kia Soul fora hosted by Vertical Scope is helpful though most posters are no where near as sophisticated as the folks on the this and other off-road vehicle/light truck fora.
The good folks at Toronto-based Vertical Scope decided that if you do not edit your post with a few hours after posting, you can no longer edit that post. Then they relented and allowed a limited number of edits within 10 days. 7 to be exact. Except it does not work. Once you have made 7 edits, that is it. No more.
Why? I asked the administrator for data on folks hacking the system through edits and they replied that they could not share that data. Which I doubt they have.
Strikes me as boogey man. Strikes me as the kind of measure that would be driven by risk averse, ass-covering snivel snervants. (Actually lots of civil servants are just fine, I'm pissed.)
In what... roughly 3 decades of participating in web-based chat fora I have never run into editing restrictions until Vertical Scope took over the TheNewX.org and https://www.kiasoulforums.com/.
Look, I am educated, I read widely. I have NEVER come across post editing as a security issue. NEVER. But please, do feel free to educate me.
The outcome? Why on earth would I ever post anything of length and complexity on these boards?
