## * [Ivo Flipse](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/51/ivo-flipse) [asked](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5418402#5418402):* **Going to /review I've come across quite a few low quality posts from high rep users. Some of them even have quite a few upvotes, but clearly don't pass our current set of standards. How do you deal with this situation?**

I don't care if it's a high rep user or if the person has just started on the site. In fact, I guess high rep users will respond to these kinds of requests very fast if they don't want to be seen posting low quality stuff ;)

** [slhck](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/2463/slhck) [responded](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5418518#5418518):** I'd probably try and edit the post myself and show how it's done. Leading by example, if possible, that is.

** [Oliver Salzburg](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/31226/oliver-salzburg) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5418466#5418466):** On a case-by-case basis. High reputation does not necessarily equal quality contributions.
** [Daniel Beck](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/2582/daniel-beck) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5418492#5418492):** Comment of the posts, asking the user to improve upon the answer, as it's e.g. not useful in its current form.If such requests exist, maybe coupled with a negative score, deletion is likely. If I have the knowledge to make the post useful, I'll edit it in line with usual editing rules.
** [DragonLord](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/11606/dragonlord) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5418537#5418537):** In most cases, I would post a comment to let the user know that it should be expanded or otherwise edited to increase quality. In simpler cases, such as link-only answers, I'll edit the post to add relevant content from the linked site. Of course, if the answer is meaningless, I'll just delete it.
** [soandos](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/18035/soandos) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5418901#5418901):** I have notified them in chat if they are still active, but if they are not, then treat it like they are everyone else. You are not immune from moderation because you have more rep.
** [KronoS](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/601/kronos) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5420296#5420296):** the same way that [I've been doing so](https://meta.superuser.com/questions/5177/what-do-we-do-with-low-quality-answers-from-high-rep-users). Assess the question and see if it's the root of the issue. If not, then comment to the OP to rectify. If I see that there's been no improvement over time and I can see NO value to the post, then delete.
