It's meant purely as "agree" or "disagree" since meta is for deciding site policies and discussing issues. It's not personal here (and it isn't on main either). | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 21:24 | comment | added | user9517 | If your answer is good how can it diminish the effectiveness of the site ? Sure it stings a bit when an edit is rejected or a flag is dismissed but really, just learn from it, live with it and move on. The down votes here are because people disagree with your position, nothing more. | |

| Oct 13, 2011 at 21:13 | comment | added | Jerry Asher | Exactly, which is why I've said, there is no way I will ever choose "Improve an answer" again. What are the rational reasons why anyone should choose this answer, given the likely conduct of the moderators, and the walled off nature of SE and the likely beatdown it exposes a newbie to? As an example, see how much this question itself has been downvoted... Instead of improving an answer, I will always choose make my own answer, regardless of how that diminishes the effectiveness of the site to the end users. | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 21:07 | comment | added | voretaq7 | I'm afraid this isn't a battle you're going to win: ServerFault and the SE sites are a walled garden, and the community/mods are zealous guardians. We can and will show you the path, but if you ignore the path and insist on trampling the flowers you won't be well received. (analogy quota for the day: Met.) | |

| Oct 13, 2011 at 20:47 | comment | added | Jerry Asher | As I said elsewhere, if you and the mods have no time to do a decent job with the edit queue, THAN remove the edit queue. Don't make false promises that you can't keep, or do a quality job with. | |

| Oct 13, 2011 at 16:58 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | Really. I rarely go into suggested-edits. I have enough work keeping up with flags as it is, so leave suggested-edits to our high-rep users. | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 16:54 | comment | added | voretaq7 | Re: direct communication, note that most people approving/rejecting edits aren't diamond mods - they're high-rep users who have spare time to look at an edit and decide yay or nay. Most of us don't have time to get into an extended back-and-forth on the "why", beyond the one-line reasons the system provides for us :-) | |
