I mainly want to edit my posts in order to fix typos, improve grammar or wording, clarify unclear sentences, or sometimes do things like add a link or a picture. It doesn't matter how old the post is; if I'm browsing and I notice I made a mistake, I want to correct it. It's mildly annoying to not have the option, which I'm used to from other forums.
I don't get the impression that edit-abuse or revisionism is a big problem on these forums, but I suppose there's a theoretical danger of it if there was no time-limit on editing. So it's a trade-off. But could we please get a bit more time? Like a week?
