How long does it take for a temporarily banned user to be allowed to begin suggesting edits?
 
Why'd you invite me
 
@Antz I have no idea. As far as I know once the ban is over you can start suggesting edits again.
 
I did @Avery
what makes a suggested edited message to be rejected even if it follows all the basic rules for editing?
 
why me here/
?
 
@Antz if your suggested edit was rejected it just means other high rep users thought it was inappropriate.
 
5:53 AM
want more ideas from different users who have been in the community far earlier before me
 
Can you provide a link to your suggested edit? Without seeing what you suggested it's hard to comment.
 
okay
just a sec
 
they didn't put any comments over your edit?
 
No @Ramakrishna
 
okay as John asked, place link you edited recently

Q: Nginx + OpenVPN (proxy) and access.log

JeanCaronI currently have an Nginx server running on 444 and an OpenVPN on 443 with the port-sharing feature. Both applications run well, but the IP written into /var/log/nginx/access.log is, thereby, 127.0.0.1.  Is there any way to rewrite the IP based on the client's one?

 
The edit history is only showing accepted edits. We'd need to see the link to your proposed edit. I must admit I'm not sure how you find the link to the rejected edit. Is it in your notifications?
 
as I didn't see what you edit there, I can't judge. But there are few predictions like 1. maybe you didn't put proper edit comments. 2. language specific reasons
 
I would guess the reviewers thought the changes were too trivial to be worth making.
I'm out of touch with what the requirements for reviews are on SO, but that looks a reasonable edit to me. I'm surprised it got rejected.
Though I note in both cases the action was reject and edit. I sometimes do that if I want to improve an edit i.e. take what the person has already done and add to it.
 
6:17 AM
oh
that sounds like the higher your reputation, the higher you're to approve or reject any editing
 
Also, I see your 37 edits got rejected so far that could be a reason for ban
 
@Antz a very significant number of your edits were completely superfluous or actively harmful. While you may be "following the basic rules" a large amount of your edits are only formatting edits, and bad formatting edits at that.
This one had to be fixed after you edited it, as did this one
And this edit failed to properly codeblock the large section of obvious code output
Codeblocking individual words when the entire block needs it is a bad edit.
 
6:43 AM
oh @Mokubai thanks
going through the those edited suggestion I made
 
Quite honestly it looks like in a lot of cases that you don't actually understand the content of what you are editing. You missed the leading part of this one meaning that someone has to go out of their way to fix it.
 
Oops!
is it possible to be lifted from a ban or that ban remains?
 
The ban will be lifted soon, it's not a permanent ban.
 
Oh great!
how long does a ban last?
 
7:04 AM
Just looking at some of your other edits and I'm pretty sure that the "valign" that you corrected to "align" was actually meant to be "valign" in this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/46506834/…
When people write particular things it is not always a typo
The rest of the edit looks good, but you are making some fundamental changes to posts that are actively harmful and can change the meaning significantly @Antz
@Antz was that an intentional change by you, or was it "change it because the spell check says it is wrong"?

@Mokubai I made that correction believing that he meant align-center, but I've corrected that back to valign
thanks for the observation

@Antz I suggest rather than opening chat rooms and inviting a few (apparently very confused) people to them, just ask a question on Super User Meta:
It's there for discussing the site's operations and learning about how it works.
(If you're unfamiliar with it, no problem -- many people don't realise site metas exist for quite a long time.)
 
@doppelgreener I know of Super User Meta, but I don't know how exactly to post the right qustion, anyone can just begin down voting the question
I only thought a chat room might help because one can get to express himself in a clearer way

@Antz Sounds like the site has a tough meta. In this case I would have said something like: "I've been temporarily banned from suggesting edits. I've been trying to find out how long that will last, and none of the help docs I've found have described it."
If people are likely to be hostile, I'd also mention "I accept the ban and I'll work to improve, but I also want to know how the consequences last." — it shows understanding of what happened and will head off people seeing the question as just wanting to wait until it's over instead of learning.
@Antz I find meta can be very helpful because it's full of site process experts, and we can take our time to express themselves clearly in answers — we can take half an hour to write and research if we want, because we don't have to keep up with things moving at the pace of chat.
Things also get verified and vouched by a large audience and inaccuracies can be fixed, so it's more reliable than asking in chat.
 
2:02 PM
@Antz the problem with chat is that you end up pestering random people who probably had nothing whatsoever to do with the problem rather than directly addressing the community at large. We have a lot of users who regularly check meta, but rarely go to chat.
Rather than worrying that you are currently banned you should be considering why you are and how, if at all, you are going to change your behaviour once the ban is lifted. Nearly 50% of your edits were rejected which is quite concerning.
And the fact that there are approved edits which had to be fixed afterwards just makes it worse.
 
2:46 PM
@doppelgreener thanks a million for helping me out!
@Mokubai noted. I will begin using meta intend of the chat then.

@Antz Your welcome to ask in Root Access or Ask a SU Moderator if you use chat use those channels. Don’t create a new channel then invite random users :-$
