It's better to interact with the post in its current state, whatever that is; doing so makes it much clearer after the fact what you were, in fact, looking at. > I would say: either show the suggested edit, or do not show anything (for example, just disabling the edit button). The current text suggested edit pending... being clickable produces a frustrating user experience to those who cannot see it. I certainly agree that it is counterintuitive to make the text "suggested edit pending" appear clickable but not do anything when clicked. However, I would argue that having that text (or something equivalent) there at all conveys useful information. So my vote here is for a middle ground: have the text, but make it just text, nothing more.
