You should be grateful for this, because I hate systems like: Forums,
Reddit and whatever, where people can edit/delete posts changing the
context of things.

+1. In the old days, it was called "bait and switch". After people
reply to an initial post, edit it and change it into something else
completely. It was one of the trolls' favorite tools.
Last week I saw a video showing how a forum was shutdown because it was
alledgedly full of racists. The thread where there were "racist
comments" was in fact one where the initial question was ok, the answers
absolutely nice but then the troll changed the initial post to something
sinister and all the positive answers looked like agreement to the
racist slur of the first comment. It was then demonstrated that the
troll was a journalist from a big mainstream media. If I find the
article again I will give a link (it's in french though, might not
interest that much).
Wow, that's insane. I would be interested in seeing it.
