This is just my opinion of these functions, I am unsure of what Biff's opinion of them is.
Consider a user who goes on a rampage and riles up 20 other users by posting stuff he/she should not and the said 20 users retaliate and a flame war begins. Now the original user goes back and deletes all his posts, thus making the other 20 users look like idiots and leaving no way for the moderators to backtrack and see what happened.
As for the edit thing.. same reason. Though I did up the time limit a bit from 10 minutes.
This pretty much so sums it up. If you double post then we can fix that.
I don't like people editing/deleting posts. It detracts from the board IMO.
Go fuck yourself. Hard.
