How much time is allowed before we can totally change the subject line and all content of an OP?

If all of these important things can be altered by anyone, anytime, who is in control; and why do we need "juries" to control what we are allowed to post?

I suspect (but I do not really know) that the Admins would quickly remove any new member that routinely did such things.

We do have standards, ya know. Juries rule on inappropriate behavior.

When we started this website to oppose the oppressive online tactics of George W. Bush Jr. the limit for ALL changes was 15 minutes. If I remember correctly, no subject line was allowed to change.
