Perhaps the barely comprehensible stuff would get changed when reviewed by the poster after a little while, I just find (I was told 30 minutes) to be a bit short a time, but hey ho!

Have fun.

When we speak of "barely comprehensible stuff we're not talking spelling mistakes, typos or lack of punctuation. We're talking stuff which makes no sense at all. The sort of post which you read over and over again trying to understand what it is the poster is attempting to convey. It's obvious to the moderators that some members don't bother to read their posts either before or after submitting them, so they're hardly likely to edit them.
