The forums have a wide variety of threads, not just contests. It's only the contest threads which wouldn't want unmarked edits.

It makes much more sense to just always mark the edits as being edited vs trying to lock or unlock all the specific threads to allow or not allow editing. And there could even be posts in a contest thread which someone might want to edit, like a response to someone else's entry that wasn't an actual entry into the contest. So even a contest thread wouldn't necessarily want to prevent edits - just unmarked ones.
