My experience at JLA is edits only appear on USENET if the edit is done
before
it is sent out from them.  I suggested to the admin to disallow edits
for that
reason to keep consistency but I see that they still allow it.

So the posts don't go out from JLA Forums immediately, which I think
they do from Nova BBS?

but not 100% sure if I ever received a clear answer to that. I looked at

answering) and found these blurbs that might explain it

Sorry you had some trouble, but your post and/or attachments were

for manual moderation.

posting frequency seems to have been throttled due to long amount time

since last activity.  I've went ahead and removed this temporary
limitation
and you should be able to post as normal.

your post was reported by a troll from the Checkmate forum section.  I
see

that your post does not violate the TOS or AUP so I have restored it.

Interesting quotes, it seems that JLA Forums may have more "hands on"
moderation than some other Usenet newsgroup portals?
