I don't really make much use of its power at work, but aiui, Slack allows edits for a *short* time.

So you might have a bit of a pain with moderation, but if you only allowed editing within, say, five minutes of the original post, then it balances your need to moderate with a poster's desire to correct something. After all, I expect most people spot their mistakes as they click "post" :-)
