I have searched the forum and explored the settings before asking this question. I know that post revisions (aka post history) can be hidden from non-staff but they cannot be disabled. This means that if an admin posts

> Ten fine paragraphs.  
> One sensitive/problematic statement.  
> Ten more fine paragraphs.

and edits it to become

> Ten fine paragraphs.  
> Ten more fine paragraphs.

Discourse makes sure that the part that is edited out, will always remain visible to staff. The problematic parts can only be deleted by nuking the entire post/topic or directly manipulating the database. This becomes limiting when the owner of the forum would like to have staff but also needs a way to redact certain information (e.g. sensitive personal information posted by mistake).

I’m wondering why there isn’t an option to disable history/revisions for certain users or groups of users such as those who bear the legal responsibilities of running the forum? In particular, I’m wondering if there is are ideological reasons for not including such an option (e.g. to enforce transparency and making sure the forum owners run their forum _the right way_)?
