OK, I’m de-scoping this. Since the site setting is now rolled out, please experiment with turning OFF `slow mode prevents editing` on your sites @auser @dfabulich @TallTrees @FroggyC .. and let us know how it goes.

If there is no (significant) abuse of editing in your testing on slow mode topics, then perhaps we can remove that site setting and allow normal editing rules in slow mode.
