Edit - Meta Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Of course you have a point. I've always liked the fact that you don't get notifications for everything, but an edit being rejected just vanishes somewhere in the profile. It's not like you could even easily research this yourself. Users that suggest invalid and harmful edits will never receive any feedback about how "bad" they acted. The other cases you mention are always "positive" notifications (except for a "broken SO account", I don't know what you mean by that).

But the hordes of people can be asked to make their suggestions in other meta questions. Then the bad suggestions (useless notification ideas) can be downvoted with an explanation like this and won't be implemented.

Uh, flags are a whole different matter altogether. Users need to know what we moderators tell them about their flags, I'd even say more so than what the community tells them about their edit suggestions.
