At this point, it's obvious that the site administration has absolutely no intention of re-revising the editing feature on this site, to return any of the usefulness and functionality that was lost. So you basically have a few options regarding typos:
1) Don't make typos.
2) Learn to love and embrace your typos.
3) Write your posts in another program, use spell check, and give it sufficient time (hours/days depending on length and content) before posting to ensure that every possible edit has already been made.
4) Reduce the length, content, and frequency of your posting contributions on this site.
Also make sure you haven't forgotten anything so that you don't have to add it later further down the list where it doesn't make any sense.
EDIT: I got in just under the wire.
Of a greater concern than people coming back and maliciously deleting valuable information should be the people who link their pictures to the site instead of loading them directly to the site where they will remain in perpetuity. There area lot of blank links to pics where people deleted the original or the original picture site is no longer there.
In other words, I don't think there is a 100% guaranteed way to keep from losing any data.
From the comments in this thread, and the number of comments in each thread where people have run afoul of the time limit, it appears to me that possibly, maybe you guys were a tad hasty in putting in the time limit you did.
Could you possibly revisit the time limit issue?
