There are various moderation reasons to do this, for one we have people who get into arguments and then go back and edit and act like they didn’t say the things they did.
Another reason for the cap is so if you get angry and leave over some disagreement with another user, you cannot edit out useful comment that you had contributed to the community. In particular this happened with one user in the Dom 3 community and frankly that kind of behavior is extremely childish, but because some people act that way when they get angry we have to have some sort of stop in place to prevent one user from harming the community at large.
We've heard this may be a problem in MP game threads. We are going to examine our options before making any decisions.

As others have posted here, the ability to edit posts is indeed very useful for MP games, and it is nice that you're taking this issue under consideration.
It isn't only for MP games this comes in handy though. It is quite common for some people to post (sometimes quite long & detailed) strategy tips/suggestions/guides and similar things (And I'm not talking about you only Baalz.
). Quite often these posts are the start for an intresting and fertile discussion on the subject, and sometimes the OP would like to be able to edit his first post to include the suggestions, tips, and insights provided by the rest of the community.
It would be nice if it would be possible to at least retain the ability to edit the OP's of each thread, (This would also solve the MP issue mentioned before. ) though I don't have the slightest idea about the software issues involved.
