It worked! We had a heated discussion about NFTs on our forum. Enabling slow mode, while disabling `slow mode prevents editing` helped cool it down a little.

Nobody attempted to abuse editing.

It’s early days yet, but I can’t imagine that we’d ever re-enable `slow mode prevents editing`. I’d suggest that in the future it should be disabled (allowing editing) by default for all forums.
