I'm pretty sure I still have editing available due to my GameFAQs Gold membership.

I can still edit just fine, but only for an hour after making the post, which is how it's always worked. I'm not sure why they insist on that time limit or if there are any exceptions (stickies being an obvious case where an exception would be needed), but GameFAQs gonna GameFAQs.

Were you warned at the time?

To prevent you from maliciously editing posts after the fact to try and make other users look bad. The assumption is that an hour is long enough to fix any immediate mistakes you might have made/noticed, but after an hour you shouldn't need to edit it anymore (and if you do need to correct something after the fact, you can always just make another post afterwards.

I know that's the official story, but an hour is plenty of time to do that and the edit history is so readily available that pointing out that the person did that is pretty immediately going to result in them being the one that looks bad. I don't think that's actually a major risk.
