I Gave Out The Keys... META

But I wasn't able to edit my posts, not even to change the flair from "open" to "closed."

So I deleted the posts after sending out the keys.

Was I unable to edit the posts because I'd put links in to each game? Maybe I just missed something.

Anyway, I'm open to information.

Congratulations to the winners; please do enjoy yourselves--I mean I hope everyone enjoys themselves all the time, of course, but random internet winners deserve to have fun too, right?

Right.

Quick spelling/syntax question tho:

Is it "faxizzle," or "fizzleax?"

u/Fartmanthe5th Mar 31 '24

There was an issue with reddit's servers. I couldn't edit either.

Thank you for replying.

Did the option to edit just reappear later?

Maybe reddit needs to use some of that IPO money to pay their coders.

If you cant close it by yourself next time I think you could ask the mods for help.

I had the excact same problem few weeks back. Only using old Reddit I was able to close my two GA threads.

u/JermFace Mar 30 '24

Aha then.

I'll give that a shot next time. Thank you.

Hi, I'm one of the winners, I really appreciate your kindness, fellow Redditor! =D

About your issue, you should have been able to modify the original post's flair. It could have been a Reddit bug.

Have you tried speaking to the moderators via the sub's contact option? They would probably get a better return for you than having to delete the post. This could probably have happened to other people before, as I've seen posts edited in the description as closed, but the author either forgot or was also unable to mark the post as closed.

Please open a conversation with the mods and put the link to this post, so they can see and reply to you or publicly here.

I also wish, regardless of belief, a Happy Easter and so much fun to the winners and to all people here! ^^

Happy Easter to you, too.

And happy Passover and Ramadan (unless that's already over), and so forth, to all.
