Edit rollbacks + moderation control

[JayX]

I think set staff of a site (ie via a flag in usergroup setup) should be able to rollback edits in order to see what the user has decided to remove.

Ie a user might state something offensive, annoy a lot of people then remove it before anyone has had chance to report it. If a tag came up on every post that had an edit applied to it , the admin/mod could then see a history of that post (ie all revisions, and who did what..)

Real world example - 2 mods were seen active at a time when a guest post (hence not editable by the original user) had its contents changed to something of a questionable taste. original poster claims it wasn't him, and it must've been one of the two mods, mods are denying they've done anything and the original poster is just trying to cover his ass. With a system that logs every edit, this would be easily tracked. Currently post edits do not appear in the mod logs.

Post edits would make resolving disputes like that a lot easier. Maybe, if this got too big, an option to log post edits from a specific member group or to a specific user's posts.
