Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took suggestions for the social media platform Thursday, and many users requested the ability to edit their posts and more tools to report abuse.

Dorsey said the most requested feature is an edit option. Other social media companies, like Facebook and Instagram, allow users to edit their content; Twitter has so far declined to do so.

Twitter purged a number of accounts associated with the alt-right in 2016, and Dorsey himself was accidentally suspended from his own platform around the same time. (RELATED: Twitter Doesn’t Rule Out Banning Trump If He Gets Too Unruly)

Some users still find the company’s abuse policies lackluster.
