Feb 1, 2018 at 19:36 comment added AlQuemist I don't see the similarity with the edit mechanism. My proposal is fundamentally different, afais.
Feb 1, 2018 at 19:15 comment added Werner @AlQuemist: This sounds similar to an edit (new users can suggest edits that is reviewed by the community), while "trusted" users can edit as needed or roll back edits. I don't know how your suggestion would benefit the community in the way (suggested) edits already do. Sure, it's a different mechanism, but it's similar in what it provides/achieves. Moreover, if any community member can just draft up their highlighting, this may put an unnecessary burden on moderators to vet/clean up stuff.
Feb 1, 2018 at 19:01 comment added AlQuemist precisely. but, e.g., I cannot remove the highlights made by another person. I can just view them. However, a moderator could remove any highlight.
Feb 1, 2018 at 18:57 comment added Werner @AlQuemist: So community members would read your post and highlight something. And that something would be visibly highlighted to others viewing your post? And if they want to, other could highlight more content, or remove highlights as they see fit?
Feb 1, 2018 at 18:43 comment added AlQuemist I think my suggestion is misunderstood. I mean, e.g., that I (or anybody other than you) would be able to highlight some part of your post.
