This has been fixed.

I brought this up in the past because of the newbies here erasing their original posts after they get the information. I'd suggest possibly taking away the EDIT for anyone new to the site from 0-250 posts.. This way we weed out the "drive-by" from someone new who posts a question, then deletes it after a few responses. It's happened on more than one occation which was why I recommended the safeguard.
I personally still agree that we need this, my only concern is that I still think new people deserve the right to edit their posts within a certain time frame. Unfortunately there is no easy way I can limit how long a SPECIFIC usergroup has to edit their posts. Really the only thing I can do is either allow or prevent the edit feature for the usergroups.

One possible solution is if we agree on a post count that once they hit, they will be able to edit their posts. That way I can make another usergroup that has a little more permission than brand new members but this wouldn't change the current ranks (middle, light, etc). New members would have to hit this small post count before they can edit posts...maybe in the range of 50 - 100 posts.

Feel free to let me know if this would work for you guys.
