| Feb 8, 2021 at 3:53 | comment | added | Nij | Are we not going to assume good faith then? A reasonable person is going to see a bunch of edits reverted, and think heck, why is that? am I doing something wrong? better check the guidelines again. If it continues after notification and continued revertion, sure, ping a mod for someone being a fool/tool/troll. Or why not both, and tell the user they're being reverted often, maybe do something about it, along with mod flags to say hey, someone to keep an eye on. | |

After all, if there really is a problematic behavior here, having the user dismiss a notification and continue the behavior isn't going to solve it! If you're asking this because you've noticed such behavior, perhaps raising a moderator flag on one of the edited/rolled-back posts can work in the mean time :) | |
| Feb 3, 2021 at 7:35 | comment | added | Ryan M | I edit a lot of posts. I don't want to follow them, because then I'll get notified about everything that happens on that post, and I don't really care about 99% of the conversation that occurs under the post (there's often a lot, depending on the post). But I do want to know if someone thought my edit was bad enough to roll back, so that I can address that. | |

| Feb 3, 2021 at 1:39 | comment | added | Cave Johnson | @Nij I thought about a bit and removed the part about users who make a substantial number of edits. But for now, I think the Follow feature would be a good option for those users who would like to keep tabs on their edited posts (whether this feature is implemented or not). | |
