if you come across anything that needs deletion, please just submit a request to a mod of that forum or to me or KimmyDawn and we will assist

the purpose of the new rule isnt to restrict members who need valid deletion or editing of their posts after the 12 hour window

it is so that posts that HAVE been edited by mods or under mod request cannot then again be re-edited by OP to return what was edited out or to add new stuff and also to prevent people from editing their posts in order to change a discussion where they have elicited responses to their post etc etc
ie to prevent abuse of editing/deleting rather than correct use of the feature
