Forum software platforms allow time limits to be set for how long after posting
a comment someone can edit it. A lot of forums use 30 minutes. Bricklink could
use 5 minutes as far as I'm concerned - short enough to allow correction
of typos, or of missing words that change the meaning (like an accidentally omitted
"not" or "should" instead of "shouldn't" and so on).
That would enable folks to edit without engaging in the kind of revisionist history
you're concerned about.
It's also worth noting that the current system allows you to entirely delete
(aka cancel) a message. I just looked up the first message I ever posted here
on the forums, from Sep 2021, and the Cancel function still appears as an option.
So I think there's clearly a better way: allow edits, and have an automated
time limit for both edits and cancellations. That solves the problem you are
concerned about - which, again, already exits via cancellation - while allowing
comment edits, which every web forum I'm aware of has allowed for many years
now.

This is a good conversation and I just want you to know that I am not trying
to argue with you purposefully. I feel it's important to always speak up
when anyone wants to 'upgrade' our Forum and may not understand all the
specifics involved. It's somewhat arcane knowledge from an advanced user.
And it's for you and for whoever reads these, and whoever at BrickLink
may get ideas in their heads, too.
It's important to know the function here is not just for communication and
social media. The technical requirements would have to be built into any changes
that happen here.
Thanks,

ps. If I could add just one feature here it would be a notification of a direct
reply. That would be SO nice!
