My most explicit and annoying problem with it, is that people can avoid bans and reports by editing the content of their posts, and here's an example.
Timmy calls several people what rhymes with witch among with dozens of other insults including some instances of spam, threats, and lots of other stuff, but decides to edit his posts a little after the argument he was a part of dissipates. By that time, several reports have already been put in on dozens of his posts. Nothing has been done so far, then later on Moderators are messaged about the situation an hour or two after those reports have been made, but the Moderators won't do anything because Timmy's posts are now edited clean of any profanity or flaming. Thus, Timmy easily avoids bans, and gets to say whatever he wants practically because there is not a system in place to keep track of what was contained in a post before it was edited.
This needs to be changed. It's understandable when someone might want to edit their posts to fix errors, add information, or take back something hurtful they might have said when an argument got heated, but there should be a record system of sorts to keep track of the original content. There does not appear to be, and this is a severe issue.

Just a quick heads up - [I]every edit you make is recorded.[/I] Editing doesn't hide what you previously posted. The situation you suggest doesn't occur to my knowledge. If you have a specific example, please tell me about it, but I'm pretty sure you don't have one.
