"I proofread AFTER I post."

I do this a lot too. Gotta learn to be patient and only post when you are 99% sure.

I´m reading this post, seconds after edit my post. :(

This is extremely counter-intuitive and there are also some issues with photo uploading that may necessitate some edits and re-edits... it should be fixed IMO and exclude edits.

We all make mistakes.  What's more important is you owned it and made amends.  In my eyes it's all good brother.

Good catch - I admit I am not up to speed with the implications of the latest fork and rely on people like you to shout about all the quirks!

A lot of people were continuously editing in order to get their posts to feature high on the "active" tab. I guess with this change, they are going to have to get comments to do the job (and I suppose that's what the comment bots are for!)

I think I might be in the same boat with [my article here](https://steemit.com/steemit/@anduweb/billboards-nah-i-rented-the-top-banner-space-on-one-of-the-most-renowned-blogs-in-romania). I edited it 3 times after I posted it to add additional information :(
It's at about 570$ right now. We'll see how much it will actually pay out.

Was not aware each edit counts as a new post, and put you over your limit.  Signed a fellow editing fiend.

A good heads up since I like to post my pictures individually. Might have to switch to a bulk or spread them out more. I appreciate the heads up, Thanks!!!

Thanks for explaining this mystery to me. I was wondering why I was losing value at payout!

Thanks for the warning!  I have been foolishly editing mine when I find good articles to link with mine.  Here's my article on [where the money comes from](https://steemit.com/steem/@beanz/where-does-the-money-come-from).

Quite glad i read this. Bit of a noob to Steem. I don't know how you earn money from a post, and i didn't know you got penalised for posting too much. So all in all, pretty informative and should stop me from making the same mistake. 
Thank you.

There really should be a tooltip on the Edit link that gives a warning! And then in the editor next to the Post button!

Oh! I noticed it too late...thank you  for the info!

Thanks for approaching this in a calm and rational way, and using this post to test if your theory is correct or not. I learn something new about steemit everyday, usually from posts like this, and then tomorrow i do it better and know a little more. Don't forget we are still in Beta, expect the odd glitch in the matrix ;)

There must be a way to fix this. I don't think the intention of the hard fork was to penalize people for editing. The intention was to limit people spamming low quality posts. Editing shows someone cares and wants to make their content even higher quality.
