I usually just try to be one of the first posters (before the post is quoted) and tell the OP to edit. I'm not sure there is a better way. Maybe if there was a concerted effort by more active posters to limit their quoting potentially damaging posts for a period of time to give the OP a chance to wise up?

I think you just take it post by post and try PMs too.
I think it would reflect good manners in cases in which a person posts something innocently but later realizes it might have been a honest mistake and edits, for the people who quoted it to edit their posts as well.
Obviously, in troll type situations, I don't think you should: the comments should be preserved for other readers. But in cases like this, if the OP edits because she's said too much, we ought to be kind.
