in thread PM Guide to editing nodes.

I only really understood that ppl were angry at me, never a happy or worm feeling. Till just now I was thinking that if there was something massively wrong with editing ports or that if historical changes to the nodes were important that this was an issue for the Gods. They could either not have an edit feature or have a past history archival feature.

It never accrued to me that the new content I was posting was the issue. Am I wrong in thinking these are two unrelated actions? One has to do with writing content and the other has nothing to do with putting pen to pepper. Ppl didn't like my posts, but instead what was brought to my attention as the issue was that I had changed my ports.

Am I making sense? It doesn't seem like I'm able to get what I'm trying to communicate across. "He used the edit feature." VS "He typed something I didn't think he should have."

Edit:
My dyslexia is more in control of what I'm writing today than I am.

    Don’t feel bad. I got snapped back and I think temporarily blocked from posting anything early in my time here for too many (silent) edits to a post that was in play.

    With great power comes great responsibility.

    "He used the edit feature." VS "He typed something I didn't think he should have."

    Just using the edit feature is not the problem, and the first few ninja edits are excusable. It's more like "He used the edit feature in an attempt to trick the people and getting him more upvotes" (as you did here) that I would guess people have an issue with, and as such it's probably counterproductive to your stated goal of gaining XP as quickly as possible. If you want to do that, just be helpful and post fact-checked answers to questions!
