Some people already question how much power the moderator has. To add more would surely add fuel to that fire. To edit a post and make it acceptable is such a tough judgement call, that I don't (personally) want to attempt that responsibility. Should I change a swear word to something lower but still derogatory? Where is the exact line to draw in editing? The time needed to personally alter files to create a sanitized forum would be prohibitive, I think. It is not a responsibility that I would accept. And if some moderators did accept it, I think it would cause more problems that it would solve.
