Foundations of Verbal Fragments & Run-ons

On page 87, it says, "'Rushing the field during the football game is strictly forbidden'...the non-underlined part can stand alone"?
How is that? "is strictly forbidden" a complete sentence?
What's the subject in "is strictly forbidden"? If it can stand alone.

Another question, when I edit and submit my post the next page says, "This post has been successfully edited." Why not, "This post is successfully edited". When the action is done, right? Why does it have to be present cont.? When the past has nothing to do with the present? I would think that the action is done by my part and server has responded me that we are done. So it is end of conversation.

Hi,
Please read the forum rules -- one single question per thread. If you have two or more questions about the same problem, then those can be posted together, but that's pretty much the only exception.

Your first question is in the wrong place (it should be posted in the MGMAT non-CAT verbal folder). Please post that question in the correct folder. Thanks.

As for the second question:

Another question, when I edit and submit my post the next page says, "This post has been successfully edited." Why not, "This post is successfully edited". When the action is done, right?

I don't know the names of the tenses, so I'm not sure whether you're using the right names.
But... "Finished action that's relevant to the present" is one of the most fundamental uses of the "has/have ____ed" tense. In fact, this exact type of situation -- in which you're emphasizing that a completed act is relevant right now -- is one of the main reasons why "has/have __ed" even exists in the first place.
