Editing of/Modifications to Posts on the Forum

[dsdrane]

I would like to address something that I've recently experienced on the Forums: posts being edited/modified after the fact.

Whereas this hosting program allows us to modify after the fact (thank God, for so many reasons) and even gives us an opportunity to explain why we edited/modified, I feel posters at times feel free to significantly alter and amend posts that are sent out there into the forums in a situation where they are actively being commented upon.

This skews the exchange and is therefore unfair and disingenuous. Who's to say what existed first?

I've been accused of doing it when I really made minimal, insignificant changes, and I've been on the receiving end of significant changes that were not acknowledged.

What, if anything, can we do about this?
