About modifying petition content when the petition is already signed

[fallen]

The issue is that today someone can modify the petition after it has been signed. Therefore the petition can become very different (or slightly, but the devil is in the details !) than when you sign it. This could give a wrong image of how many people are supporting a campaign.

Think about some way to handle this case.

• Should it be forbidden?
• Should it be allowed and:
  • trigger an email to all signatories?
  • should the email trigger be mandatory with custom text entered by the owner who modifies?
  • should the email trigger be optional?
  • should the optional/mandatory be a per-user/per-org setting or instance wide setting?

When signing a petition, people agree to a specific text. This agreement doesnt apply to any other text.

• First think before creating a new petition.
• When a text needs be changed, publish another petition, close the first one and request the new one to be read and signed.
