Scott,
You wrote,[...interesting ideas,Lou..practicable?..symbol..a form of editing...]. A symbol to show caution could be implemented here, as a symbol to show that a poster is a new member has a symbol to show that. A red or orange symbol could be used instead of the hand symbol. Other symbols could be used also.
An edit could be of many natures. But the caution symbol is to indicate, not to delete or modify the words in a statement. An administrative note could also be posted, which is another form of editing. But the administrative note,{please be civil} is also an edit. Could not an administrative note that could caution about the dangers of a post's statement be at least just as important and relevant here as the {please be civil} edit?
