Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

What's the proper etiquette for editing your posts in the Threadiverse? (beehaw.org)

On Reddit it is (or at least was) considered polite if you edit your posts to correct spelling errors or clarify something that you added 'EDIT: whatever I did' to the bottom of your post. Is that the done thing here? Should it be?

I only followed that etiquette if it's necessary information, otherwise future readers are going to have their time wasted.

Additionally, if the comment is sensitive in nature you could justify an Edit: remark.

But otherwise I just edit and leave it at that.
