21644,Should contributors be allowed to edit their posts once scheduled?,nickaster,,"
This may not be a ""bug"" per-se,but seems to have a lot of negative consequences so I'll give it a shot.

According to the rules:  A contributor can edit their own Posts - irrespective of who scheduled it.

This creates problems for large publications where there is an editor who makes changes to posts and then schedules them, sometimes a couple days in advance.

As it stands now, a contributor can still log in after that process is done which means unexpected changes and shenanigans might take place.

Wouldn't it make more sense for a contributor to lose editing privileges as soon as something is no longer in draft modea?

Just my two cents.
