I am annoyed by this function.
Sometimes I read through my post after posting and notice some spelling errors. I make minor corrections and then the forum notes that I edited it. It looks sloppy and unfinished. It makes it look like I changed my mind on my own opinion, or added something at random, which is often not the case.
On all other forums I've posted on, you can edit your post unlimited times without it being noted so long as your post is the most recent one in the thread. After someone else posts, you can't edit anymore.
I think for the sake of DP, post editing should expire after 20 minutes or something along those lines, but as long as your post is the most recent one and within this time frame, the forum should not make note that you edited it.
