Why can we no longer edit posts?

I still don't understand not being able to edit the EC tunnel section of website when you can still edit the bugs section.

This is false. You cannot update in the Bug forum either (which is also annoying). Editing functions for the first 30 minutes or so then the button disappears.

The SOE Forums for EQLive also went to a no Edit policy a year or two ago, which was EXTREMELY annoying for certain things like guides and guild recruitment posts. Instead of bumping or fixing typos/changes, you had to create an entirely new post.

It looks like Daybreak kept that horrible forum restriction in place.

I would not be surprised at all if the written agreement with Daybreak involved some cleaning up of the forums and no editing may have been a part of their agreement. To prevent people from posting dumb things in 5 year old posts that may get flagged for their dumbness and no one wouldve seen.
