Ideally each post should have revisions, so that the former (original) post can be seen by forum admins. This way each edits can be traced. F.e.: If an admin removes parts of a post, each other admin can see what was changed.
Restrict times for editing a post. Say: a normal user has the ability to edit his own post only for 24 hrs. After 24 hrs a normal user shouldn't be able to edit his post anymore, but admins can.
Recently a user's post was accidentally edited by a moderator. So the idea came up to show the name of the editor: Instead
Edited: date
we should may show:
Edited by username: date
I think this is an act of transparency.
We may also want a 'editor comment' so the result would be:
Edited by username: editors comment
I think showing the date can be omitted.
