    I think that it is only there to give a purpose and a benefit to being promoted to member.

    1) It is supposed to force you to think about what you are posting rather than regretting rash words later.

    2) It stops a new member bent on making trouble to post all manner of forum rule violations, getting existing members angry/upset and then going back to their post and editing out the "evidence" before any moderators can see it.

    But it can be irritating at times, typo's, things you now need to double post for

    But there is a "spell check" button right next to "submit reply" and "preview post".

    If you place your mouse over the "edit" button then it says "edit/delete message". So vB must support it, however the mods and administrators must have disabled it.

    Hmmm...that's an interesting idea. Was there a problem with this in the past?

    There was a certain junior member a few weeks ago who went around spamming, there have been several junior members in the past that have insulted certain members, some junior members also use mild swearing in their posts too.

    My memory is a bit fuzzy at times, but I seem to recall at least one incident. Not being able to edit is a pain but generally Junior Members need only endure the "pain" for a week or two before being promoted.
