Actually, I wouldn't want anybody to edit _my_ postings in a forum, except for
myself. It's a different matter with wiki pages or etherpads, of course.

I can assure you, if I may, that I am not prepared to undergo a mentoring
process just to take part in forum discussions, regardless if someone considers
me to be disciplined or not; sorry.


Imho users should have unlimited time-to-edit access to their own postings. 


I think that, ideally, the system could automatically comment changes with a
statement like "This entry in the forum was changed on 07/07/2011 at 20:00 UTC
by _nickname_of_user_".

In the first 15 minutes or so after a posting one could even do without such an
additional system message, just to allow users to repair careless mistakes
they've just made.
