I'm pretty sure this is not possible in the base MyBB, however there should be plugins for it. I'm not entirely sure how the Admin procedures work as far as Player Requests are concerned, though that might not be the worst thing ever.
If there was a plugin which did that, it would be installed. I glance over the database now and then.
If you're willing to code it however, we'd be more than happy to install it.
We're completely fine with letting players see their own requests. Yay technical limitations!
The problem with allowing players to edit their Request posts, is that the Admins vote on these Player's Requests, as is. If a player were to edit their Requests during, or after the vote, it would create confusion and uncertainty with regard what was approved. If there is a need for clarification, simply make another Player Request and we will merge it with the original Request.
View, yes. We're okay with that.
Edit further, no. There's no way to prevent this.
That thread there that you've linked with instructions doesn't prevent people from editing regretfully. That's something which myBB doesn't have the functionality to remove editing rights for individual sections sadly without a plugin.

If that's not sufficient I will attempt to come up with something else, but I suppose that would be a useful moderation tool in its own right.
I cannot find any (valuable) reason(s) for an admin, to devote his else free time in browsin' the history of each user to find out about changes he made in his requests. Making a new request afterwards would just do fine? Or PM an admin/write one on skype about changing your post and notifying the others if your request is in vote currently. This would take -way- less time then the other way around as admins are splitting up this part of work since they could not do this with browsing the history... you know what I mean?

The point isn't to allow people to edit their own SRPs, but to be able to view them after they've posted them. The unfortunate side effect is that they can edit them, and Protege is attempting to offer a solution to that issue by allowing all edits to be logged to ensure there's no funny business happening with player requests and the like.
