| Aug 12, 2011 at 6:50 | comment | added | DMA57361 Mod | Gareth and @Randolf, while many of the answers here focus on "fixing" the edits flooding the page (which, wasn't what I was asking) there are a few answers and comments that looked at the "do we care" bit, and of those, it seems what consensus there is points to no, we don't care, there's always the new questions list - so please, as long as you're doing good edits please continue. :) | |
| Aug 12, 2011 at 3:11 | comment | added | Randolf Richardson | This is very encouraging. I think I'm going to start editing more too. | |

| Aug 11, 2011 at 21:47 | comment | added | jcolebrand | @Gareth just keep editing, don't stop because you were asked to stop, that's my opine. | |

| Aug 9, 2011 at 23:51 | comment | added | James Mertz | I don't think that removing the effects of editing a question should be removed from the front page. I feel that feature is a key part of what makes Stack Exchange run. | |
| Aug 9, 2011 at 23:45 | comment | added | Randolf Richardson | +1 because I feel the same way that Gareth does. I used to edit a lot, but I cut back severely because people complained and a few even seemed to be "pissed off" about it (someone even told me that it damages their score and not to edit their Answers again -- I'm not going to keep a list!). This was discouraging because I truly thought I was contributing positively to the quality of Questions and Answers. Although I don't consider this as "buckling under peer pressure," I do think that if minor and major edits are upsetting people that my time and effort is better spent on other things. | |
| Aug 9, 2011 at 19:21 | comment | added | slhck | I'd love to have an "invisible edit mode", for what it's worth. While I don't edit as much as you do (1500:750 in this quarter), I guess I should feel "guilty" for the same reasons. Too bad the feature request has been declined though. | |
| Aug 9, 2011 at 18:53 | comment | added | Breakthrough | Oh, and as nhinkle brought up in a comment to digitxp's answer, this idea has been proposed and denied in the past on Meta SO. | |
| Aug 9, 2011 at 18:27 | comment | added | Breakthrough | Sorry for commenting to you in this question (I removed my comment, you can do so as well), but I had no other way of bringing it up. I didn't mean it as a personal attack, this is something I've seen happen with various other users in the past (myself included), and just wanted to bring it to your attention. If you take a look at my answer to this question, I agree that you shouldn't have to actively stop. | |
