You refer to "this forum" as if you think it's some centrally
controlled web application.  It's not.  It's a Usenet group gatewayed
to a mailing list gatewayed to an archive/nntp server at gmane.org.
Google then duct-taped the atrocity that is Google Groops onto the side
of the Usenet group.

IOW, there is no such think as "this forum".

If you want whatever user interface you're using to send postings to
hold onto them for 15 minutes to allow you a second chance to edit
them, then you need to talk to whoever maintains the user interface
that you use to send messages to the Usetnet group or mailing list.
