I agree that editing other people's comments isn't the best thing to do, but the README clearly states that those types of comments weren't welcome.
In addition, serious opinions like issue #60 weren't edited, only issues like #77, which literally said:
"Dear Beef, Beef. Thanks, Beef"

EDIT: ... and IMO calling an obvious troll a "troll" isn't defamatory. What GitHub is doing is clearly censorship, nothing short of it.
- Operyl 8y agoPerhaps. Close them and lock the issue, don't join the same "trolling" fashion.
- matheusmoreira 8y agoWait a second. Repository owners can edit people's comments on their issue tracker? That's insane.
- kingosticks 8y agoYes, normally to fix the formatting when they post long sections of code/logs which are otherwise very difficult to read. And not just repo owners either.
- Operyl 8y agoIt's usually not abused, and when it is the moderation team will step in like shown here. It works pretty well.
- ayekat 8y agoPosts that have been modified are well visibly labeled as "Edited", together with a history of changes, so there is no "sneak-editing".
