For example, if none of the responses made sense after an earlier post was edited. Worse yet, when a moderator reads a thread they know all the posts are okay up to that point in time. If earlier post in a thread have been edited, there would be no way a moderator could be sure the thread is okay without rereading the entire thread. Considering some threads here are well over 100 pages, that would not be reasonable to expect from our moderators.

On the flip side, our moderators aren't so overworked that they cannot edit or delete posts when users ask us. This has never been a problem and we always honor our member's requests to edit or delete their own posts. The quickest way to make such a request is to report the post to the moderators.

Thanks for your response Alex, some things that you mentioned I didn't really think of, and yes, the mods have always been great for editing posts upon request.
