I'm happy to hear the arguments for changing this - but overall it is a spam protection thing unfortunately
Got many spammers coming back to edit their posts? (with new spam?) hehe...
Joking aside, It doesn't help those "newbies" who spot a mistake but can't edit it, and then for that post to be viewed and read by many others as part of their introduction to this site (and community). Also not forgetting just how picky some people can be about spelling, and also first impressions.
I can't see how this works as a method of stopping spam, surely educating the members in the usage of the Report Post button would be better?

OK - point well made, and taken. I'll change it in the morning
