Allow message edit from other people

Mostly for servers admins and moderators but can be extended for games or any creative ideas from the community.
Many servers are using channels to display their rules, announcements,etc...but messages can only be edited by the original poster. 
I suggest an option, by the autorisation from the original user, to allow modification of your message from a specified (trusted) user or role.
Basically, when you type or edit your message, you can chose to tick "allow modification by" with a panel to select roles involved. If someone edits the message, instead of "edited", everyone could see "edited by nickname", as this person takes responsibility for their message.

    I fully agree with this. But it can come with risks if you think about it.

    Not that much : the user will choose or not the messages and people allowed to edit them, and in the unlikely case you notice someone is messing up, you can remove their permissions.

    Wow, the exact same though. Even down to ticking a textbox to allow your message to be edited by others.

    Could indeed be very useful when you made a typo. Although a downfall I see which could be easily avoided is highly active servers where messages are typed from different users every second. Although because of how Discord works, it wouldn't really let that throw away the suggestion.

    I would also suggest you help this get more upvotes by sharing this suggestion within Discord servers. There may be way more people who think this is a good idea. But doesn't know about the discord suggestion forums.

    So many post screen shots without any descriptions/tags to search  the gaming data.  

    I think we are asking to be able to moderate servers like a  typical board/forum.
