That's an interesting idea. Usually when I edit something I leave something in the listed in the "reason" section at the bottom of a person's post. That way you get some feedback, as do others in the forum to help you understand why something might have been edited. But if it wasn't something obvious, like that I edited out their full name or something, I can see why it would be helpful to have a copy of what you might have said (sent by PM) to be able to understand better why something might have been edited.

Every mod has their own style of course but consider your thoughts duly noted by at least me. :D
In a way, I am not defined by my dissociation. In a way, I am.

Thankyou for the suggestion- taken on board :)

I think the mods are very reasonable. I can't speak for them but I think if they edited a post they usually have a good reason for doing so.

Every forum has it's own atmosphere and style. I think it's important to respect the atmosphere of the different forums. Everyone's conditions and needs are different.
