>I don't think it would be good enough, no. It might be good enough if you retained the pre-edited post so that you could make a reasonable guess as to whether there was a genuine rethinking and attempt to correct, or if someone was trying to use the feature to be provocative. Coupled, of course, with a willingness on your part to go back to the prior method if problems are cropping up.
