Slow mode affects editing. During the cool down period, you’re not allowed to edit your post, and editing your post itself resets the timer. This makes perfect sense to me. As you wrote,

The problem is that people then think “slow mode means you can’t edit any posts ever.” [EDIT: you can’t any posts in slow mode, I mean]

Does that make sense?
