Removing the ability to edit was not a way of "punishing" regular users, it was just a side effect of giving supporters another little bonus. I try to give regular users a perfectly good and usable resource. I try to give those who have contributed to the running costs a few things that make the site a bit better.

CH, sadly it costs quite a lot of money to host a busy forum on a good host with good support. Our bandwidth is now about 110 Gb/month and this doesn't come cheaply.

And apologies for not sorting this earlier - have had a bit of internet trouble!

Thanks very much for the time and trouble of giving a sensibile and understandable reply.
