Well, for what it's worth, I think that allowing for the amending of posts is a bad idea. People can amend threads. That's what posting is for.

What were the advantages to amending posts?

1. Prevent the "wasting" of a post so as to circumvent the 3-post rule?

2. Prevent the "premature" reactions by the reader to extant uncivil words by obviating the need for the author to compose, and the reader to open, a follow-up post? Conversation is a behavior of sequential actions. One does not go back in time and amend their words. This would only serve to prompt authors of subsequent posts to change theirs in response. Things will get pretty messy.
