Kongregate has an edit button and this doesn't happen often over there. And if it does then the mods deal with it.

I'd rather be able to edit freely rather than a five minute time period

An edit button was discussed before. I think it is not worth it personally, just check your post before you submit it. It would be an extra thing to do. That is not particularly important. After thinking about it I am against an edit button.

In some cases, proofreading will cause a user to be ninja'd. An edit button will allow a user to focus on speed and correct the post afterwards. Therefore, I am for an edit button. Sometimes when I make an error, I will correct it in another post and mention the need for an edit button.

Xenforo forums all have an edit button.
