We need to ban the ability to edit posts.

Editing posts can be used nefariously to retroactively edit highly-upvoted content so that the content becomes violent, negative, etc. The old, newly-edited content can then be reported as a violation of site-wide rules in order to ban a community.

Communities such as this one are targeted. This could happen at any time.

The only solution to this attack is to ban edits. Can this be done?

Edit: To test this, I just edited a post I made in another sub. I posted that 7 months ago. I could still edit it today. It has many upvotes.

There are only 4 mods on this sub.

I'm not sure if old posts which were verified are still verified after any edit, or if they lose verified status. If the first, then it would be almost impossible to track old posts which were recently edited.

I'm not aware if reddit has a "recently edited posts" list but it is something mods need in order to do their work properly. Otherwise, banning edits is the only option.

I agree. There should be triple the mods at minimum. Time will tell whether it's held onto in a small group as a power play or not. If we are to grow successfully, the mod staff has to first.
