So, we have moderation logs, but AFAIK they don't mark edits. This is good for, say, scouring the site of spam links or porn posts or whatnot.

For the health of a larger site run by postmill, I'd say it's definitely bad. Forum mods should not be able to edit someones post. Admins would have the power but probably shouldn't.

Not to be a "muh freeze peach" chud, but I think it's plainly icky for mods and admins to edit posts, even in jest. The only exceptions I could see are syntactically-clear mod edits, a-la "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST".

There should be a way to mark a post as being the cause of a ban without editing it.

I was thinking the use case would be like, if someone doxxed someone it could be scrubbed for example. But if it did get edited by a mod it should be marked as such. Iunno.
