What is Donation Coder?
Dormouse:
Surely it all depends on the scale of the problem.
The community here has a lot of active protective members who would report spam etc when they saw it, so no need for moderators to be scouring posts themselves. Having moderators update useful links would be extra work too.
If you are going down the route of limiting how long posts are open for edit for, one option is for supporting members etc to have a longer period to edit than participants. I assume that this might be possible, though again no recent experience running a SMF forum.
Having all edits appear to moderators (if they automatically see all new posts already) makes sense. Lots of extra work if they don't already read all new posts.

Go on - have a go then!
f0dder:
Having all new posts having to go through moderator = bad idea. Lots of work for the moderators, and would "slow down" the forum. The spam problem is not bad enough that this is necessary at any rate.
"Wikifying", as in having revision control, is an interesting idea - but how difficult would it be to implement?
Disabling post-edit after <some timespan> seems like a reasonable compromise. And it could perhaps be re-enabled for people with more than X posts...

did anyone suggest that?
the various ideas as i saw them were:
* wikify post changes -- my favorite
* disable editing a post after 24 hours -- with mods being able to reset the time limit on request
* leave everything as is

mouser: that's how I intepreted the last part of alivingspirit's post: "An edit is like a new post and should be treated as such. Nothing should be posted on a forum without a moderator seeing it." - emphasis is mine :)
