attempting to address comments, and pointing out a flaw

| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:46 | comment | added | Y e z | @Gilles except that you are penalizing someone for a once-upon-a-time poor quality post. Essentially you are saying "If I am too lazy to leave constructive feedback for my downvotes, we should compound that laziness by leaving no way for me to know to reverse it when it's no longer applicable." I'm not sure what is responsible about leaving a series of downvotes which, if they served their purpose, are now residual penalties for not getting it right the first time. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:43 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | There is nothing irresponsible in not reviewing posts that have been edited since you voted on them. The responsibility in the content of a post is on the author. If you want to let the author of the post notify you if they edit their post, leave a comment. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:39 | comment | added | Y e z | @Gilles You don't have to review every post. As suggested, you would have an indication of which ones switched to become unlocked. You could just review that post. It could even be highlighted to show which ones changed since you last visited the page, as it is in the reputation profile page. As opposed to the current model, in which if you wanted to be responsible, you have to review every post you ever voted on ever ever, at some reasonable interval, to be a responsible voter. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:37 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | One notification per site where a post that I voted on or downvoted was edited. And if I care about these notifications, I have to review every post, so grouping the notifications by site and day isn't really helpful. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:35 | comment | added | Y e z | @Gilles It's one notification per day, no matter how many posts were edited that day. Just a note that tells you at least one vote has gone from locked to unlocked. So your 80k upvotes would not possibly result in more than one notification per day, if it were implemented in such a way as to notify for upvotes (which I don't see why it would have to be, anyways). | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:33 | comment | added | Y e z | @Gilles One notification every 24 hours would be overwhelming? Geez, you must have sensitive nerves. How do you deal with responses to your thousands of posts across SE? | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:29 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | I have thousands of downvotes across SE. Granted, a number of them are on now-deleted posts, but still, I don't want a notification every time one of the non-deleted ones is edited. That would be overwhelming. I expect I'd be getting a notification every day, many of them redundant with a reply to a comment. No way. Besides, wouldn't your reasoning apply to upvotes too? I have over 80k of those, I'd be doing nothing but filtering that. | |
