I see this term all the time, but based on context I'm not exactly sure what it means. Is a Ninja Edit when someone makes a post, and edits it while you are responding to it? Or after you've quoted it? What's the exact deal?

I always defined ninja edit as editing while someone is responding to the post, but I'm not sure if that's "official" or not.

Just refers to editing a post right when somebody's about to comment on it.

Surprisingly good synopsis for urbandictionary which is usually crap.

Watch he'll change the OP to say something about how anyone that talks about ninja edits is lame or something, hehe..

I edited the OP like 9 times but figured I'd just get in trouble.

lol i thot a ninja edit was when someone posts something and it totally sucks or doesn't make sense and the poster wants to remove or alter his original post as to not make an ass out of himself but before he changes it the damage is already done.
