Someone suggested an hour, but maybe a half hour would be better calibrated, since there's less opportunity for others to read the post, and then to find it's vanished. That does do odd things to one's sense of reality and is disruptive. So I'd prefer a limit of 20-30 minutes at most.

Right, the idea is more fixing and less preserving.

I agree that a time limit makes sense, but I was thinking a longer one. Sometimes it helps to sleep on things, so maybe 24 hours?

The original post wouldn't just vanish. If someone read a post, came back later, and it was revised, how do you think that might that affect their sense of reality?
