Why is it not possible to edit your questions after posting?
Why does YA make us waste 5 points by deleting and starting over the main question if a problem is noticed after the posting? Why can we not edit the main question? I now understand why there is so much misspelling and poor grammar in the question lists.

Because it is already posted to the public. Its kinda like you published a book with a million copies then noticed a mistake. You won't get then back cause it will cost more money.

maybe to prevent abuse. like maybe a guy rephrase his question to make the answers mean a totally different thing
