Migration of MSO links to MSE links

| Oct 31, 2012 at 4:36 | comment | added | Shog9 | This has nothing to do with SO (SO has required multiple approvals for a long time now) or badges (the complaints regarding sloppy approvals predate both the badges and the new format). | |

| Oct 25, 2012 at 15:55 | comment | added | smcg | @MilesErickson yes, that is the case. Lots of discussions on meta.so about it. | |
| Oct 24, 2012 at 23:17 | comment | added | Skyhawk | @ChrisS That's quite amazing. Are people reviewing and approving edits so fast because they're trying to rack up completed review tasks and earn badges? If that's the case, it sounds like we might be incentivizing inappropriate behavior. | |
| Oct 24, 2012 at 13:43 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | The situation had got pretty bad, even here on SF I've seen numerous bad edits come through (heck, one of my own Answers got an ed-suggest with blatant spam, approved by someone who really should have known better). One thing they pull were stats for how long people looked at ed-suggests before approving; something like 90% were <5 second, and a notable number were <2 seconds (it takes the page most of a second to load the suggestion, so people were/are approving based on ~1 second of reviewing)! The core problem is still there; just masked a bit by requiring multiple people to screw up. | |
| Oct 24, 2012 at 7:22 | comment | added | user9517 Mod | @MilesErickson: You need 2k to review suggested edits which is the same as editing privilege. It's just more of the same we have a problem on SO we can fix with a hammer. | |
| Oct 24, 2012 at 7:09 | comment | added | Skyhawk | This might have something to do with StackExchange having extended review privileges to low-rep users, but that's a separate issue. It still makes no sense to me that a user with editing privileges can no longer approve an edit that he/she would have been able to make without approval. | |
