I'm the kind of person who will make a post and then over the next few minutes find some nitpicks and edit it a few times. There's also been some instances where I make a post, then having it posted in front of me, quickly decide that it may have been poorly worded or inflammatory and choose to either remove the offending material or alter it to be more appropriate.
I'm just not really sure what interest is being served by actively penalizing self-moderation. I'd really appreciate some kind of example where someone removing inflammatory postings of their own volition is causing more harm than good.
As noted in your quote, that doesn't refer to normal post editing, which is what you're describing. It's aimed at two behaviors that have never been okay, which are deleting posts that you'd prefer people not see after they've been around for a while and editing a post after someone's quoted it in opposition to your argument, then claiming you never said it in the first place. Those have both, surprisingly enough, actually happened! Since we're trying to be transparent, we're making it clear that those behaviors aren't acceptable. I'll clarify the post to indicate that self-moderation is fine.
