Indeed.
Too many trolls and idiots were engaing in drive-by flaming (quick post while the target is online, after it's been seen, use the edit button to
remove evidence).
Granted, you can still remove the content, but this way there is still left-over evidence that something happened.

From www.dictionary.com
To utter a posting on the net designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look
even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll.
