Edited posts show for not registered users i thnk this is a bug
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the visibility of edited posts to non-registered users. Qasem_h initially thinks this is a bug, but codinghorror explains that all users can see revision history by selecting the edit pencil. zogstrip mentions the edit history visible to public site setting, which can be used to change this behavior.
However, twbartlett points out that this setting only prevents non-registered users from clicking to see the edits, but the pencil icon remains visible. They suggest that the poster/editor should be able to choose whether the edit is visible or not. TechnoBear responds that while the fact that the post has been edited cannot be hidden, the pre-edit text can be hidden from non-moderators by using the bin icon in the edit history.
Nope, that is how it is supposed to work, all users can see revision history by selecting the edit pencil. The redder the pencil, the more recent the edit.

Also, there’s the edit history visible to public site setting if you want to change that behavior.

@zogstrip this setting doesn’t appear to do anything unless I’m missing something?
EDIT: My mistake, the pencil icon remains for all users, but you cannot click to see the edits.
It’s kinda nice for people to see something has been edited, but I feel maybe the poster / editor should be able to choose whether the edit is visible or not? (As an admin on a community, I prep content as unlisted and then make it listed. So I might not want people seeing that I edited it before I posted it)
I don’t think you can hide the fact that the post has been edited, but you can hide the pre-edit text.
If you open the edit history and use the bin icon, the edit details are hidden from all but moderators. (Useful if some ejit has posted their login details, for example.)
