I think it has cleared some confusion for me, because I edited my post a handful of times throughout the day today. I blame my so-called "perfectionism" (which in and of itself isn't so perfect).
If it counts blog post edits towards your 4 allotted posts you can have before they begin penalizing you for it, then I TOTALLY did this to myself.

By resolving one question, (potentially) we have discovered another! I do not know the answer to your Post Edit question. I would like to think it is a no, because I can edit my posts for a while, if that penalized us, I'd think it would of been brought to our attention sooner. I've never tracked how long, or thought even at which point does that option go away?
Maybe once a payout has occurred on the blockchain Story Edits are no longer possible because it's been verified on the chain? I edit posts, as well, I'm sort of a grammar fiend. It's never affected a payout to me that I've noticed. Curation Award or other wise.
Again, I could be completely misunderstanding this whole Reward Weight system too. I'm just now learning it, literally. I discovered it researching your problem trying to help resolve it.What I think has done this to you is the amount of posts you've made through the Submit a Story option. as explained by @rogue91
I have to say I think I'm inclined to believe edits count, because when you edit and you check out how it looks on your steemd.com profile, it said you've "authored" a post, not "edited" one.
I didn't make that many other posts in the past day that I would believe would cause an 85% drop in payout, but I edited WAY more than 4 times.
As a matter of fact, I'm almost positive editing is what did it because every time you edit a post, it bumps it to the top of the Active pages, thereby making it more visible and thus susceptible to spamming unless a limit is put on it.
you made a like 10 photography posts that day... thats rough man... but the money doesnt matter, right? the info posted says youre reduced by about 87% at 10 posts....
It looks like you have 14 posts now listed as 2 days ago, including the one youre talking about....
You're absolutely right. The post I created in which I caused alarm among the community has garnered over $2,000. So to make it up to everyone for alarming the community, every transferrable dollar I end up with is going to be split among the people I scared and who posted before it was revealed to be my own mistake. I want to make this right.
