Editing a post removes it until it is moderated?

Post by tcachat »

I have written a new topic yesterday, then it was published after the moderator accepted it. All right. Today I try to edit it to correct a minor typo... Making the topic disappear until it is moderated?! Is it correct? Then it is best to never edit a post. What happens if the post is a reply inside a discussion?

All posts from new users are moderated until a certain time and then they can post without moderation. This mechanism is there to prevent forum spam.

Thank you for the answer.
In the case of a post that is Edited, it would be nice to keep the old version visible until the new one is moderated, instead of removing completely the post.
