    To minimize server load

    Basically posting and editing are more or less the same, as you have to reserve your table (?) in the db, also it would be fairly easy to ddos using editing

    @RazorSh4rk But premium users can edit stuff for longer after posting, so what I'd everyone would become a premium user?

    It's to prevent abuse/people switching out content after other people have upvoted/commented on it.

    @linuxxx @RazorSh4rk the reasoning doesn't have anything to do with systems performance :)

    Also caching.
    But I get the human factor.
    If you have a problem, you just comment on the rant, or add another comment to the thread.
    And typos will always be there.
