Is there a specific policy about Discourse message editing?
I’m trying to update some messages to improve them and to fix typos, but I can’t find any button to edit them. I’m logged in and message are not that old (3 and 16 days).
Search the pencil 
(in the title or under the message)
Policy to avoid short messages…
I can see the pencil in the message above, but not in an older message.
It seems that after a while, a message becomes not editable.
So, how long are the messages editable?
I just looked at the (default) settings of our discourse instance: message editing is active for 24 hours for new users (Trust level 0 and trust level 1) and for 30 days for Users of Trust level 2.
Ok, so I believe that I’m at trust level 0 or 1. How do a user pass levels?
Probably by contributing to the project (forum, code…).
I just upgraded you to trust level 2 manually.
Happy editing!
