| Jan 20, 2012 at 18:02 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | My rejection rate on SO is about 1/4. Most rejects are to posts that would warrant editing. So I would use “reject and edit” in about 10% of the cases (say 15% if I felt up to/had the time to do the edit myself every time). That's not “ridiculously low”. | |
| Jan 20, 2012 at 11:58 | comment | added | Daniel Fischer | A checkbox saying 'suggested edit was hardly helpful' that would give the original suggester only +1 rep? That would send the message 'Thanks, you helped, but you didn't do too good a job at it, try a bit harder next time.' Sure, +1/+2 doesn't make much of a difference, but I would appreciate being able to send such a message. | |
| Dec 22, 2011 at 7:55 | comment | added | Benjol | There is another annoying case: where you hit 'Improve', then the half-assed edit gets accepted, and you have to do your (better) edit again. I'm FOR Reject & Improve. | |
| Nov 22, 2011 at 18:37 | comment | added | user159834 | This doesn't address straight-up bad edits. It's often more work fixing or reverting those than the original post. Hitting "improve" sticks you with Mr.Editor's version rather than OP's. This is not common, but definitely exists - 15 minutes spent reviewing edits will turn up at least one. | |

| Oct 24, 2011 at 13:03 | comment | added | Benjol | There are lots of sub-6-character edits which are helpful in some way... :P | |
| Oct 20, 2011 at 5:59 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | Well, I haven't been, but I think them making one edit, and leaving a bunch undone kinda sucks. They don't learn what they're doing wrong, so they will just keep making partial edits. | |
| Oct 20, 2011 at 5:57 | comment | added | waffles | So they helped, why deprive them of the 2 measly rep ... | |
| Oct 20, 2011 at 4:56 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | Most cases would have something helpful, they just leave a lot left undone. | |
