The cons of unlimited edits is that it allows others to "change history" in a thread they've contributed to. So, for instance, if there's a whole discussion that turns into a heated debate or something where a member crosses the line into flaming, they can go back and edit it to make look like they didn't cross any line. It's very easy to abuse such functionality if left to an "indefinite" period of time. I know for 99% of members, that would never be an issue... but in my experience, that small 1% of members can really cause havoc if they want to by completely changing what they said in a post to make it look like they did nothing wrong.

So I'm happy to have it set for a period of time where it suits most people's needs to edit and organize, but my preference is that it is closer to the minutes category rather than the hours.
