szopin, Is the jalyst - ZogG issue being discussed here or the issue of editing posts more generally? I gave you my take on the general issue and in the event of a vendetta (though it's rare to see such) the user reports to the admin and he can undelete the posts too so it's not as big an issue as you think it may be. The worst thing is the post is missing for a few hours but you can be damn sure if a mod goes on a vendetta spree the admin and/or other mods would surely not stay silent once it's brought to their attention. Also why is this sounding more like a us vs them thread? Mods are normal users with some powers to keep the place clean and tidy and not another elite or special group of people that you are making it sound like. This is TMO, a place where I think most of us are sane adults so can we please try not to create a divide where there is none?
