Sites that don't allow users to edit posts and comments. Is it a glitch or intentional?

[Fidelia]

I have been on a few sites that don't allow people to edit the posts they have made. I know most WordPress sites allow that. Is it a glitch or something the admin wants to implement? I feel people should be allowed to edit their posts.

Glitch or intent?

I have not experienced it, most sites allow people to edit.That might be a glitch but if it happens successively, then that is not a glitch but site's policy.

I know a few recently that put a policy into practice of not being able to edit content after a certain period of time, due to an increase of human spam bots going in and adding links to their posted content after the fact, essentially to spam without "triggering" anti-spam measures.

In my opinion, sites that do not allow users to edit their posts and comments is not a glitch. I feel it is something the owners does intentionally and it is actually not nice.

It may be intentional that they don't allow to edit the post. I don't know the reason for the same.

I also encounter with similar problem. Some sites like Steemit they act as they are number one and they are king. They make site so much complicated as this key that key, and Infront of me these sites are nothing but only their showoff. These types of sites don't allow to make any changes.

Some sites disallow editing perhaps to avoid rampant scamming and plagiarizing.But mostly sites allow editing like here on DBucks.

Have not been to such sites before though but in such cases I highly doubt it is a glitch of any sort.

BMF is one of such sites. That's why when you are posting on such sites, you should be careful to make sure that you post deliberately and intentionally.

Some site owners do not allow editing of user submitted post because they fear that users will delete all content
