Its very easy. No one is editing their posts constantly and with high change. Take your backups (you have anyway), diff the content, allow only minor changes

Its very easy.
No one is editing their posts constantly and with high change.
Take your backups (you have anyway), diff the content, allow only minor changes and a max edit limit of x, restore the content if those criteria are not met.
Sure it costs a week or a month to add this feature to the platform but data will not be lost.
Nonetheless, SO is not the only ones having an archive of SO
- viraptor 2y agoIt's not that easy. Major changes / rewrites for quality are not that rare. Minor changes could also break the system by injecting false information. And even if you could automate this, it still takes time / effort continuously, because people who really care will adapt. Any protest like that will affect SO's ability to do other things they care about.
