We've got an issue with one user who likes to go back and edit his posts after a while so that they are blank. I've suspended him at the moment so that he cannot do this. Is there a way for me to stop him from being able to edit/delete his own posts, yet allow the rest of the community to continue to edit their own posts (I.e I don't want to turn off the feature entirely). If not, he will have to remain banned I guess.

There are two ways to do this:-

1. Create a new non-ladder group for bad members that has restricted permissions, such as not being able to edit posts.

2. In the forum admin area under the member section you can set individual permissions for members. You could use this to set permissions for this member so they are unable to edit posts.
