As it is, if you do so more than 10 times, you won't gain reputation from subsequent upvotes. | |

| Jul 22, 2012 at 4:27 | comment | added | Dennis | @MichaelPetrotta: As far as I know, that rule is in place to prevent users from constantly bumping their posts. | |

editing to remove my downvote

| Jul 22, 2012 at 1:04 | comment | added | Michael Petrotta | Ah. That community wiki thing is pretty weird, when it's a single person making those edits. Bit of a vestigial feature. I'd prefer to see that go away, along with the five-minute edit window, which is pretty broken. | |

| Jul 22, 2012 at 0:50 | comment | added | Mike Pennington | Again, community wiki after 10 edits. Status quo often leaves me at 7 to 8 edits | |
| Jul 22, 2012 at 0:48 | comment | added | Michael Petrotta | And so, your intent is to get the meat in the first edit? Again - how important is it to have a pristine first edit? | |
| Jul 22, 2012 at 0:47 | comment | added | Mike Pennington | it's about prioritizing edits. I put the important changes first, and batch cosmetic changes if I don't have time for them in the current edit. I am a perfectionist and it's not uncommon for my posts to go well into 7 or 8 edits (close to the 10-edit community-wiki limit) | |
| Jul 22, 2012 at 0:46 | comment | added | Michael Petrotta | I can kinda see the desire for this, but - why wouldn't you edit posts that require it? Does it really matter if an edit shows up in history? | |
