Hi @Shy - you’re right that a moderator and a community member could both theoretically edit a post within an hour of it being created. It’s kind of a moderation worst-case scenario, and I’ve never heard of it happening (a moderator making an edit and a member reverting or overriding it).  My sense is that in any case where it’s likely that the user would abuse this ability to override a moderator’s edit, that you’d likely already be taking more stern action with the user. And in the very unlikely event of it happening, you would of course immediately be able to take action. You could even make it explicit in your terms. Again, however, I think the chances of ever running into this scenario are small.

I did just think of one small thing you could do, if you’re running into cases where this is a concern.  After making a moderation edit, you could quote the post with a short reply.  If the member edits their post, it won’t edit this quote, so it’ll be very clear what has happened.

Unfortunately, we have dealt with this issue before, which is why I brought it up. I took immediate action and applied a strict measure. In all the time we’ve had our community, to my knowledge, this is the first time it’s happened. It caused some confusion and was an attempt to portray us in a negative light. Thankfully, our regular members noticed something was off.

Thank you so much for your responses, @Kenneth R: I will be raising our agreements about admin edits with the moderators, and I’ll also add a rule to our community guidelines. The tip you mentioned is a good one, and I’ll keep that in mind.
