(The search button didn't find anything with the keywords 'editing' and 'permission', so I'm making this.)

What I am suggesting:
I'm suggesting a button of some sort where you could type in a name and give the person editing permissions to that post.

Where would this come in handy?
In threads such as GTS shops with multiple owners. Currently, even if one person sells/trades away an item on the shop stock list, it can only be edited if the writer of the thread comes online. However, if this was implemented, the person could update the list as soon as they sold the item.

What if someone messes up my post?
I'd strongly recommend you to only share editing permissions with people you can trust (Maybe a friendlist-only feature?) so that you won't regret it. Even so, I was also thinking of a 'edit history' feature like Wikipedia, where you could go back and recover the post before it was messed up. (This way, if you saw a badly explained suggestion that you understand, you could ask the person who wrote it for editing permissions to explain it better without the person having to worry about a destroyed post.)

What if I want to remove people I've given permission to? (Thanks for the idea, MagicalCreature!)
Maybe a list of the people you've given permission to with checkboxes next to them?
Quote from MagicalCreatureI think there should be a checklist button of your friendlist, and then there could be two check box categories: One is for picking people from your friendlist and the other should be who you already have included, so when you want to exclude someone, you can quickly and easily find the user and exclude them.


What if I want to give multiple people permission?
I was also thinking of a way to enter multiple names when giving permission - but that needs more thought.

Thanks for reading all that, and tell me what you think below.

This, we need.

Support (Y) Sometimes I see a forum that needs to be edited and the owner is either offline or banned(I've encountered a breeding shop like that) and the forum maker might be too busy to even change or edit the forum at times xD totally not talking about self >w<

Well it will be a bit/too difficult to code such thing.
However I am with you ;)
