I'm not a big fan of the new model. It leaves nuisance posts behind and makes the thread harder to read.
We've had the one-hour edit for a long time to take care of poster's remorse. We've also got the auto-delete robomod which is very efficient and nobody sees even that there was a post once it's exercised (by editing your post to add a banned 4-letter word).

Or of it is removed by a Moderator it is like it never existed.
Thank you, Russ. Unfortunately, a small number of chronically toxic posters (whom I suspect never have any poster's remorse or second thoughts) continue to pollute the forum with personal attacks, libel, and harassment – contrary to the forum guidelines, and seemingly with impunity.

If we all had a halo over our heads it would get to be a pretty boring site.
@russsaid Edits are still time limited, but you can now remove a forum post (and any quotes) at any time.
Look for the "remove" button below your post if you are suffering from poster's remorse.
The problem is that some posters don't suffer nearly enough from remorse. They might do if their more-than-usually inane comments remained as monuments for all to read, chiselled in virtual stone.
