I think it can be helpful to a community for people to be able to correct themselves if they've made a rash, heated comment OR they've had typos. If they don't censor themselves on a rude comment, it could cause problems among your regulars, AND even if they can't correct their typos, you get commenters attacking them for their bad grammar/spelling. So it's a feature users would appreciate and it shows appreciation to your regular commenters too. There’s no delete on sent emails, and there’s no delete on submitted comments (unfortunately.)

Having them set in stone the second you click the submit button is a bit harsh IMO. A short time window is always a good idea, however I don't see a need for it to be even 15 minutes long. Usually if I re-read a comment I have made just once, I will find a typo or an unclear thought. This never takes me 15 minutes and I don't see why it should.

Sometimes I'm flying through things so fast, that after I hit submit I notice I have made a grammar mistake, or my post just didn't make sense like I had planned. Cool plugin for sure.
