The problem stated is that in the personal message, I cannot edit, so I instead have to create another message with the correction. This can get really messy.

While silenced, I can still delete posts, which can become problematic for some - outside of a personal message:

I think:

- don’t allow people to delete posts outside of PMs because of @Lhc_fl’s story below:

- allow people to edit posts inside of PMs since it can get really messy. Since you cannot edit, corrections have to be done by creating more replies.
