All edits made by moderators will be recorded here. (Unfortunately the board does not support an edit history by default.)
Anyone can reply with any objection, which will be considered. Original posters can ask for removal from here if they would not like the edit to remain in the history. (For example, an original poster might decide to remove a controversial post entirely, and in this case perhaps also from this board.)
The reason for this is to ensure that the forum remains extremely high-quality, without removing or modifying any content without cause or notice. In general editing work of any kind is not to be taken lightly. Many questions start out poorly phrased, and so forth.
For example,
check out this excellent question on another forum
Then click the Edited date (by Scott Winder) and
scroll to the very bottom to
see the question in its original form.
As you can see, the original question was very poor and had to be closed. The clarified version is extremely clear, and I found it as part of a Google search.
However, I think it's important in these cases to maintain the sense of history, while improving certain questions and posts. For this reason these will be included here
