I dont know if this is to do with me posting from different computers. I posted this morning at home a message which I planned to update later. However, I cant edit my post from Uni even though Im logged in here.

It's pointless. If someone edits their post to look innocent (when the heck does that happen and no one notice, anyway?), just yell at them repeatedly or something.

I removed the rule. It seems it was only for certain groups anyway, and members weren't one. I think it was rather silly and pointless as well. (even though it doesn't apply to supermoderators)

I don't think it was even properly implemented, so I took it out. If we want to, it's fairly easy to add, but it should be done for all member groups.

When I undid it, that was exactly who it wasn't done for. It was done for other groups, but not the members. It was very odd.

It's a silly rule. If I post things like status reports I need to edit them later on if there's an update.

Agreed.
Also when I post long-winded stuff, I kinda might see a typo or think of something I wanted to add (I do that a lot, think over stuff AFTER it's slapped down...I'm also a niggler, and that's my prerogative
)
And there's been many an occasion I've only noticed there's an error after someone's replied, and by then it was too late.
Why in the hell would the rule be in place for everyone except admins and members
That makes no sense...
