You must wait a long time because it is a big offense. If you are willing to wait, then you can start thinking "Why did they reject my edits?" | |

Because you've improved nothing and cost the time of two trusted community users. That time is not free; we could be contributing in other ways to the community, rather than rejecting your edits. It's like putting users in the "penalty box" who have wasted time on the site in other ways. We don't take users with repeatedly bad behavior lightly, and for good reason. | |

| May 15, 2011 at 6:37 | comment | added | Cody Gray | This is the correct answer. The punishment is because you've improved nothing while wasting the time of two trusted community members to reject your edits. Waffles's answer here agrees with you. | |
