The user in question isn’t submitting quality edit proposals (they are just spamming them). Since they are submitting so many substandard edit proposals some of them are being approved. Thankfully, there is a limit, to the amount of reputation they will earn from these edit spamming technique. | |

| Jul 7, 2021 at 21:24 | comment | added | Ramhound | Given I have seen a user on my primary community, earn hundreds of reputation, from submitting partial edits. I don't have faith that abuse of this system will be caught. I did my part by declining those partial incomplete edits, that once or twice, introduce their own grammatical or spelling mistakes (but more often failed to correct more than 20 minor grammatical issues). These edits were to questions that were not closed, had accepted answers, and were sometimes years old. | |
| Jul 7, 2021 at 20:10 | comment | added | Kevin B | "abuse" that results in more questions being reopened will be viewed as the feature working | |
| Jul 7, 2021 at 19:42 | comment | added | Tomerikoo | It might be possible to imagine some threshold number of "substantial edits" a user posts that in the end didn't reopen the question that will ban them from using the checkbox | |
