| Oct 9, 2014 at 23:01 | comment | added | G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' | I’ll want to read this again when I’m less tired, but one thing jumped out at me: users who have the privilege to make unilateral edits still get +2 rep points for editing a question that’s received conditional downvote(s). I don’t understand why we need to give away free rep points like that. From what I’ve seen, many high-rep users still do plenty of editing, just because it’s the right thing to do. | |

The simplest approach would be tacking on an available "path to redemption" on the current system with the minimum necessary changes to the infrastructure. Your suggestion would implement a question improvement system, which has a whole additional set of benefits in its own right, and in the process, would solve the problem I raised. | |
| Oct 9, 2014 at 19:33 | comment | added | fixer1234 | You raised a number of nuances that make sense when you start thinking about how it would be implemented. I'm not sure it would need to be quite as complex. For example, I wouldn't use 0.5 voting; the potential fixability wouldn't change the actuality. The main point was a way to clean the slate. I'm not sure there's a need to treat conditional downvotes differently from regular downvotes in terms of quantity limits or rep differences. The new queues might not be necessary; hold/close works. | |
