Is it just me or have we had a lot of pointless edits on old posts recently?

It's not just you. I've left a comment.

Okay

And seems he wants to go on an even bigger edit spree in the magic category to change links to use the gatherer format

@JoeW I have a good success rate with problematic editors of just leaving a comment on something they've edited, pinging them, and making a request that they tone it down and be more selective or outright stop what they're doing.

an "alot" -> "a lot" change is something I'd never make unless I'm already in that post editing it to do something more meaningful.

@Metagamer Well, that's context for the recent edit spree

Well looks like the front page is going to be spammed with pointless edits for a while as he already accepted an answer

Nah before this he was just editing to fix grammer

but I like how he already accepted an answer and my opinion doesn't matter because a moderator gave a different answer (along with caution about doing mass edits)

seems to think that only moderators opinions matter

That guy is also super concerned about rep and how I must know nothing since I have so little rep

I did not say you know nothing i was talking about experience, which a user like jefromi has more then you

You very much implied it

otherwise why keep bringing up rep and making it look like I have a lot less then I had

you responded that 5k was much and i responded to that

The simple fact is that almost every one of your edits was pointless

and bumped old dead posts to the front page

I already admitted that i misread jefromi post

which you now are responible for over half of the posts on there

you where doing mass edits long before you asked that question

so don't blame his answer

Also if you are going to ask a question on meta give the entire community time to responsd

not just wait for an answer you like

if you read the answers here you can conclude that correcting typos is not a problem and is why i did those edits

That was a post from 6 years ago, you think nothing has changed since then?

Well I thought that you should still edit typo's, apparently not

edit typos as you come across them sure

mass edit typos on a low traffic site no

I did not think about the fact that this is a low traffic site and this question mostly was about stackoverflow which has crazy traffic

You also responded to another user who made a note about making lots of small edits

also i think we should delete the comments from our discussion about your rep as they are not usefull to other users

you agree?

On a low traffic site it is easier for a question to get bumped off the home page and never be seen if there are mass edits

you are free to do what you want

that was a better update but I don't think tappes is a word

whoops

I would also point out that it is now highly discouraged for anyone to make mass suggested edits to fix minor typos. There can only be so many suggested edits at a given time (i think 200) and it wastes a lot of other peoples time to review them.
