| Feb 13, 2014 at 10:46 | comment | added | OGHaza | I can't imagine any user gets edit banned for minor/tag edits. That user has submitted 80 (presumably all) tag edits in the past 2 days, and odds are they'll do the same today and tomorrow with only a tiny percentage actually rejected (currently 1 in 20). | |
| Feb 13, 2014 at 8:42 | comment | added | Flyk | @Pëkka a lot of my reputation outside of my main site is from editing. I'm compelled to take my experience as a high-reputation user on my main site and help other sites in the network with their clean up because of the gamification - if you take that away, it would be something I ceased to do. I know that I'm the rarer example of a "new user" (in the context of the additional sites I'm on) making substantial edits. In my opinion, any attempt to fix this problem for SO should consist of edit banning thresholds rather than changes to the system in any other regards. | |

@Pëkka I second your remarks about the pointless tags. I encountered 10+ edit suggestions all at once this morning where the user simply added the JavaScript tag to several questions tagged with jQuery. I rejected most all of them, but they all seemed to pass via other votes. Slightly confused. Seems a little minor.

It gives new users a chance to earn decent reputation if they are still new to programming the question is whether that is actually a desirable thing (beyond earning the points necessary to comment and such). Wasn't reputation once supposed to be a rough measure of trust and expertise? I have a new user account in the iOS tag, where I'm a newbie (I had to create the account because my old activity overwhelms my front page.) I don't feel I should get to earn 1000 rep just by randomly adding pointless tags to questions.

Plus as a reviewer, you see and judge only one edit at a time. What would be a clear judgement if you saw the dozens of bad edits, can become a borderline decision when you see only one. | |
