The edit button? :P
Is that a protocol, strictly speaking? "Pressing the edit button" would be a protocol with only one action (not sufficient).
Maybe there will be a policy post on this soon.
You're right, strictly speaking, the protocol would be TCPIP. :)
(There is no mandatory or even authoritative social protocol for this situation. The typical behavior is editing and then putting an EDIT: brief explanation of edit, but just editing with no explanation is also fine, particularly if nobody's replied yet, or the edit is explained in child comments).
Well earlier today I clarified (euphemism for edited) a comment shortly after it was made, then found a reply that cited the old, unclarified version. You know what that looks like, once the tribe finds out? OhgodImdone.
In a hushed voice I just found out that EY can edit his comments without an asterisk appearing.
