Agreed, I was thinking about this as well, among other things to encourage action > inaction (might calm some peoples’ fears of sharing their thoughts on the forum).
I could imagine newly submitted posts to go through an initial preliminary period of, say, 1 week. During that time they could be marked as “newly submitted” / “recent” / or similar, which makes it clear that larger changes could still be made, and encourages others’ feedback (this might even increase total post engagement). This is the period in which most interaction happens, so most obvious issues can be made aware of and corrected. After that week it could for example be “reposted” as its more or less “final” version. Or the author (or an algorithm) decides if that is needed based on e.g. the post’s similarity to its original version.
