Sep 28, 2012 at 12:56 comment added Dennis I like this idea, although for an entirely different reason. Unlike editing out salutations or taglines, some users actually feel attacked when their "thanks" gets edited out.

Sep 28, 2012 at 12:19 comment added psubsee2003 @Bart another good point. My argument is still the same, the first post queue is 15K+ questions so if a reviewer does not have to stop long enough to edit out the "TIA", it might make the reviewing process faster. I don't know enough about the Community user to know if this is even feasible, but would it be possible to have the Community user actually make the "manual edit", which might have the same instructional effect?
Sep 28, 2012 at 12:11 comment added Bart I don't know about other sites, but for SO, given the sheer volume of users, I have not found this to be a significant problem. Many such salutations are quickly edited out. And often the question ends up with some extra TLC. Not sure if there is a need to automate this. A manual edit might also be more instructive to the new users.
Sep 28, 2012 at 12:10 comment added psubsee2003 @Oded fair point, but my thinking is if we catch the most common variations and spellings, it will help reduce the number of edits that people need to make.
Sep 28, 2012 at 12:07 comment added Oded Where do we stop? TIA, Thanks in advance (with all the casing. misspellings and spacing variations), thanks and what else?
