Why "This topic is archived; it is frozen and cannot be changed"

The Discourse software only allows Level 4 users to edit all posts. Currently there are only 2 users who have that privilege and they also happen to be moderators.

Me on the other hand with my thousands of posts in this forum I am still only a Level 3 user.

But I really have no interest in editing other people’s posts and I think that other moderators don’t either.

As far as I know editing a post may happen only in the following cases:

  • If a spelling or syntax error is serious enough to affect the understanding of a sentence (but then again I do this very very rarely -I have better things to do with my time-).
  • A post does not conform with the community guidelines and needs to be removed.

This forum has few but important rules that need to be respected, as noted above by @pointyfar

And please note that we only care about the quality of contributions in this forum.

P.S. Just edited the small typo in the topic title. :wink:
