Q: Link to PDF in Careers profile editor

Today I was looking to generate a fresh copy of my CV, only to discover that I couldn't find the link for generating a PDF or printing a copy.

I know unregistered users can post questions on most SE sites, and the other day I did post a question this way for reasons of anonymity. It turned out I couldn't edit the question at all after having posted it. Why is this the rule for unregistered posters?

It seems to make no sense considering how many times I've seen new users post a bad question and not edit it anymore with the requested improvements.

Lynn Crumbling

19:12

@Szabolcs It's possible that it's a spam prevention mechanism.

Let's say that you post a valid question. It gets answered. Happy day. Two months later, you come back and edit in spam. It goes potentially unchecked.

Essentially, as an account holder, there is a certain amount of responsibility that you hold. If you deface one of your posts because you are mad, the defacement can be linked back to your account.

As unregistered user, that culpability doesn't exist, so neither should the privilege of edits.

Of course, I might be wrong :)

Szabolcs

@LynnCrumbling It appears to have kicked me out of the system so I lost the possibility to even respond to comments or questions. Might be because I had three (necessary) links within the question, and needed to remove one to be able to post at all.
