| Aug 22, 2011 at 1:12 | comment | added | Gareth | It doesn't matter if the questions have accepted answers or not - it's all about cleaning them up for various reasons - and who knows if another better answer might come along as a result of the edit? As Jeff points out below, there is the Questions tab which you could have used to see any potential questions you could answer. | |
| Aug 21, 2011 at 16:09 | comment | added | Synetech | I’ve seen the edit-flood on more than one occasion. Just recently I checked the site for any questions I can answer before going to bed, and when I saw that, I just left. The problem with the flood is that almost all of them are on already answered questions. That is, most of the questions being edited already have lots of views and answers, and have accepted an answer. This means that they are unnecessarily bumped up, and push down unanswered questions that need more attention. Not all the edits are productive. And like I said, not many users check the Questions tab. | |

| Aug 11, 2011 at 21:37 | comment | added | Gareth | Something clearly needs to be sorted for this. Today I was piling my way through reuploading images not hosted on i.stack.imgur.com - since I've seen a number of questions lately with broken images. Call it preventative action! However a few members complained in chat and asked me to stop editing, so I have for now. | |

| Aug 9, 2011 at 23:39 | comment | added | James T Snell | It'd be nice if stackexchange itself has a built-in control for this. I often will make multiple edits to a question/answer as I'm often excited to submit it, then find little tweaks I should make. I didn't know this caused an externally visible ripple, maybe there should be a check box like on Wikipedia "this is a significant edit" and it must be checked on to have the current external effect? | |
| Aug 9, 2011 at 23:35 | comment | added | Randolf Richardson | Is Psi short for Psi-kick? ;-) Seriously though, I'm not sure what Psi means for this web site (the Search box came back with no matches). | |
| Aug 9, 2011 at 22:35 | comment | added | studiohack Mod | +1, I've long wondered about this and what we could do about it. | |

| Aug 9, 2011 at 17:40 | comment | added | Randolf Richardson | Perhaps edits within the first 15 minutes shouldn't cause questions to get "bumped" up on the page? | |

| Aug 9, 2011 at 17:26 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | a solution is for (one of the) mods, if not the most prolific editor to have Psi powers. If it's just one, no prizes for guessing whom it goes to.. | |
