I completely disagree.
If you visit most forums, you have a limited edit option. You can't just post a load of diatribe and then once you have stirred up a reaction, go back and wipe out whatever you said.
It's not a big topic. You are still free to say whatever you choose to post. You also have time to check grammer, spelling errors and so on.
I have introduced the limit for specific reasons. It will not be problem for the majority of users.
I can also increase the time limit if users don't think 10 minutes is enough to check / edit / comlete a post.

I respectively disagree. Most forums I visit do not have a time limit for making edits or corrections. In fact, his is the only forum that I visit where the time limit is the case. It is a problem for me and I think my current tournaments will be my last on this forum unless I choose to end them earlier.
I am not the only one who has this as the only forum where there is a time limit o0n changing your mistakes.
And you haven't said what you final result you want to achieve when someone posts diatribes. If they can't delete it, then the diatribe will still be there and will cause stir up further reactions. If you attack them or tell them not to do it then the most common reaction of the poster is to keep arguing, making even more discussions. If you remove it than you are back to just what you are complaining about - the offensive post is no longer there. You could delete the whole thread or but you can do this anyway.
What I am asking you do to is to THINK! If someone posts a load of diatribe then what is it you want to achieve? When you figure that out you can determine the best way to handle it and is also consistent with the needs of other members.
By the way, I am not the only one that has found this forum to be the only one with a time limit for edits.
Finally, for what reason can I no longer lock and unlock voting? I can see why you may want to do this but I would appreciate it if you would reconsider.
