Sometimes I get flagged on the Forum. I get a message saying “edit your post within 10 minutes (if I remember correctly) and it will be unhidden.” This is all well and good, and of course I want to edit the posts so they wouldn’t have anything that others don’t like, but 10 minutes seems just too short. I mean, I don’t check the Forum that much. How about an hour or something?

Hidden is ok - because you can click to see your own text. Click the pencil icon and then consider whether you WANT to edit what you said. My own flagged posts were not written to offend and infuriate.
But I am, sometimes, willing to tone them down.
My flag is 4 days old - and I can still

I ignored the 10 minutes and ‘can be unhidden’. I added the edited version as a fresh comment. Anyway there may have been 12 hours in between.

From what I have seen, it says that you can edit your post after 10 minutes. The delay, presumably, is to enforce time to think it through.

Correct, here’s the current setting and the definition provided by Discourse. 10 minutes is the default.

Huh. I have edited posts and they didn’t appear to change.
