pnd you can reduce or stop this workaround from happening by limiting the time posts can be edited by users via the admin CP panel options. I think that limiting the time posts can be edited is very important in the case of abusive posts.
SirAdrian, am not sure whether the posts counted include the posts made by users that are showing on the forum, or the number of posts sitting in the moderation queue, obviously the former would be more useful.
Have to say it's a great idea, working tirelessly 24/7, even when the mods are sleeping
