Why YSK: On reddit only the body was editable, so by knowing this you won’t need to delete or resubmit due to wrong URL, typo, etc.

    I always wondered why that didn’t happen more with AMAs. Like edit your question after they answer to make them look bad.

    I mean they had people as big as sitting presidents do AMAs.

      AMAs with important figures are one instance where I’d have welcomed mods rolling back any ratfuckery edits

      Trolls would do it frequently

      Either post something nasty, get downvoted heavily, then edit it to something mildly political or whatever, screenshot it with the downvoted, and say “wow here’s proof reddit hates…”

      Or do the inverse, post something guaranteed to get up votes and then edit it to something heinous
