| Jan 23, 2015 at 18:12 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | Previously the equivalent reject reason was simply "This edit is too minor; suggested edits should be substantive improvements addressing multiple issues in the post." which at least gave some guidance. The current and old reject reasons can be seen on this question on Meta.se: What guidance should be given when edits are rejected?. Basically it boils down to SE believing that people should be using a custom comment to say "I don't believe this edit should have happened because of X" | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 18:08 | comment | added | killermist | @random I personally feel less bad (and the user probably does too) if I -1 a question instead of only having the ability to add a comment that says "Your question sucks. You're unsalvageable. Go away." A -1 is a -1 is a -1. Meh, you deal with it. "Your question sucks" is considerably more personal. It may be true, but it retards further activity. | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 18:05 | comment | added | killermist | @Mokubai Really good point. The reject reason as-is seems personally insulting, since there is no indication that it is pre-canned. A pre-canned reject reason gives me some reason to look at my edit multiple ways and see what I did wrong. Such a categoric reason that seems to be user-typed makes me look at it and wonder, "Should I bother? Maybe not." | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 18:01 | comment | added | killermist | @random No. Precanned responses cover a wide swath of reasons to reject an edit. Because I felt that the retort was user-typed, I felt that I missed on each and every reason. | |

| Jan 23, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | random Mod | Wouldn't it sting the same knowing that they chose that particular canned message instead of something else? | |
