Editing posts...
Forums, unless the posts are restricted from search engines, are deemed public domain.
All material in public domain has to be monitored for acceptable content... this is one of the things MODS do... we read every post.
Problem comes along when posts are edited... it adds lots of extra moderating time.
Sooo... about a year or so... I started seeing forums (many do this) restrict the time a post can be edited.
Since most MODS are volunteer help... it is kinda like respecting their donated time.
Hope this explanation helps.
