You should be grateful for this, because I hate systems like:
Forums, Reddit and whatever, where people can edit/delete
posts changing the context of things.

+1. In the old days, it was called "bait and switch". After
people reply to an initial post, edit it and change it into
something else completely. It was one of the trolls' favorite
tools.
Last week I saw a video showing how a forum was shutdown because
it was alledgedly full of racists. The thread where there were
"racist comments" was in fact one where the initial question was
ok, the answers absolutely nice but then the troll changed the
initial post to something sinister and all the positive answers
looked like agreement to the racist slur of the first comment. It
was then demonstrated that the troll was a journalist from a big
mainstream media. If I find the article again I will give a link
(it's in french though, might not interest that much).
