    On this forum, you can edit your posts, but if you do so a few times in short order (to better reword things, fix typos, be more thorough, etc) the spam filter will hide the post entirely until it gets approved by a mod, which doesn't always happen particularly quickly. This is often blocking quite the opposite of spam.

    If there is no real problem of spammers using post editing, please disable that feature, allow unlimited editing, and just limit new posts.
    If there is a real problem of spammers using post editing, please adjust the limits to editing: maybe instead of hiding the post after the user makes an unacceptable amount of edits to it, just let the user know when they've reached the maximum acceptable rate of editing, and lock them out from making unacceptably soon edits afterwards, for a short time, without hiding the post.
