Hi tye et al,

This gets my ++ too. I'm not sure that I agree that most of the duplicates are due to this though. I'd say most of them (even non-anonymous), are from people thinking their node didnt get posted, because it hasn't been approved yet. (ie I see a lot more real duplicates, than updates that are supposed to expand/clarify, most of those go as replies to nodes.)

My idea would be to make them editable, unless they have been frontpaged, which is the only place I see it being a problem (ie someone posts a question, gets approved, frontpaged, and then changes the entire thing to something irrelevant/offensive.)

Plenty get approved now, and then considered for edit/delete, so thats not really a good reason, but such that need editing or arent really appropriate dont/hardly ever end up on the frontpage.

C.

PS: I'd also vote for removing the setting to turn off forced previews :)
