Guillaume,
This is a personal opinion, so take with a grain of salt.
I think that by not giving a user an easy way to edit their post, it could
actually lead to a greater chance of abuse. Your suggestion for how to
correct spelling errors enables a user to edit anyone's post (not just their
own). I know it would be very hard to take the object edition out, as it
seems to be in the xwiki engine itself.
My suggestion is to go ahead and implement an edit function, perhaps right
next to the "quote this message" link, so that users are encouraged to edit
their own posts in an easy way. I believe this would prevent users from
going on a hunt to find out how to edit and discovering the power that they
have in editing objects.
Warm regards,
Forrest

Hi Jason,
Is there a way, and if so how do I set up for the
users of the bulletin
board to be able to edit their posts (spelling errors, etc.)?
I thought post edition wasn't necessarily a good idea when I built the
application (what if users post smthg, get a reply, then edit their
original
post and the whole conversation loses its meaning...)
However there's indeed a way to remove spelling mistakes of the content of
your posts. To do so, edit your topic page in object edition mode (switch
to
Advanced mode to see it : http://is.gd/7is). Then look for the relevant
object (they will all be listed on the page, that's where the content of
each post is stored), edit its content and save the page. Here you go !
Note : this will work only on topic pages, not on Bulletin Board nor on
Category pages.
