| Jul 16, 2012 at 22:24 | comment | added | Mooing Duck | I only consider an edit not worth my time if it is spam/trolling. If it is one typo of ten, it's not the best edit, but it's still better than no edit. I don't see why we should require volunteers to put work a certain amount before we let them in. Help is help. If someone removes one weed from my lawn as they walk by, that's an improvement, and I am thankful. | |
| Jul 16, 2012 at 22:18 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @moo trivial edits don't make the site better. Substantive edits do. While substantive can be in the eye of the beholder, ask yourself: is this edit worth my time to review? Did someone spend a reasonable amount of effort in contributing this edit? | |
| Jul 16, 2012 at 20:42 | comment | added | Mooing Duck | Trivial edits are good because they make the site better. If we don't want them to flood the active tab, fine: don't put them on the active tab. If they should be tracked and reviewed, fine: put them on a tab. We need to have active items and minor edits be separated. | |
| Aug 21, 2011 at 20:52 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @syn that's fine, so other interesting content is bumped. We want people to look at and review what is on the front page, not sweep it under the rug so lots of weird, bad, secret edits can go on. | |
