RE: LESSON LEARNED - UPDATED INFORMATION - EDITS DO NOT COUNT AS NEW POSTS
There must be a way to fix this. I don't think the intention of the hard fork was to penalize people for editing. The intention was to limit people spamming low quality posts. Editing shows someone cares and wants to make their content even higher quality.
True, but if you think of your post like a book you want to publish, well...if it were a real book that's already been published, you CAN'T edit it. You're stuck with it. Looks like it's just best to get all your edits out of your system before posting it.
Yes, but with a book, you usually have an editor look it over and have someone proofread for you. I don't think anyone is going to hire a staff to do a blog here. Good thing we are still in the Beta phase of this project. I'm sure Ned and Dan will come up with a solution to this problem.
Yes, before it goes to the public, at which point it's too late.
I don't think it's a problem, really. Be your own editor before the public gets it.
Besides, when a post gets edited, it gets bumped back to the top of the Active pages, making it more visible, thus making it advantageous for spammers. If this is something that they feel should be corrected, they would just need to remove that "bump" function.
Yes but you will never catch everything though. It's just how things are. It would be sad if we were lumbering ourselves with limitations of ancient technology in the 21st century.
I think this is a really big problem for the same reasons and would like to see it resolved. I edit my posts to improve quality.
After some thinking, I'm with you that if this is true it should be dealt with accordingly. I've already encountered reasons to edit this post, but won't do it because I want to see what happens at today's payout.
Well, at least we now know what happened now.
