An asterisk is better than the risk of ass.

You're a regular wordsmith aren't you!

It means you aren't good at spelling, grammar and or finishing a thought. Nothing to be concerned with.

It's the mark of shame.

Are you serious? An edit gets an asterisk to indicate you changed the original post. You can slip in edits for up to a minute or so and not get an asterisk.

It's an anti-trolling safeguard. A better way would be to allow viewing of history like Wikipedia, but oh well.

Its when a comment is edited more than a minute after it was posted.

Changing your vote doesn't adjust anything other than the count.
