I think past PT departments were more lenient and took more responsibility in closing the PT exactly on time so some got complacent. It's still ultimately the responsibility of the user to have a valid response posted and edited before the deadline and this PT department seems to not want to take on the extra responsibility, which is perfectly valid. From what I've heard anecdotally, some of the offenders wouldn't have edited if they weren't allowed to, they were still operating under the assumption the PT team was taking responsibility for closing the post on time and they wouldn't have edited if they knew that changed.

To add onto this, the deadline is the deadline whether the post is open or closed. I can leave the post open until 2025 if I wanted to. If a user submits after the deadline, that is a late submission. Pretty black and white
