We can't have nice things

[Karsten75]

A spammer technique is to make an innocuous-looking reply on a post, then come back at a later time and update that posts to include links to serve whatever purpose the spammer has.

With immediate effect, we have made it so that no post on the forums can be edited 30 minutes after posting.

It may affect a few regulars here who tend to update forum posts with progress reports and I apologize, but we can't be sure we catch all the spammers and we don't want to carry a payload of bad links for search engines.
