I like approach no. 1, maybe it could be combined with a positive/neutral indicator of recent changes, like "You have X new edit decisions" or something. I also added a screenshot to show what it could look like.

@slhck Thanks for the mockup! That's pretty much exactly what I had in mind.

Approach #2 does seem a bit intrusive, but perhaps it could be improved by only delivering a message after N consecutive rejections, where N=5 or something like that.

Strongly disagree that they need an inbox notification for every rejected edit. However, for edits rejected with a custom message this would be appropriate.

Approach #1 would not work, because that's what it looks like when a user actually does that action on a suggested edit. When viewing it in the [all] tab, it would look like the user actually voted to approve the suggested edit, not that it was their suggested edit which was approved.

@Shog9 Any thoughts about at least implementing change #1 from Chris Frederick's answer?

Now that we have the new notifications system, this is somewhat moot; the notifications system is designed exactly for things like this.

@slhck: see my answer here - rather than a passive irritation, this feedback should be presented to the user in the context where it matters most.

@Shog9 Since you haven't directly answered my question: Any chances that #1 from Chris' suggestions gets implemented? There's no harm done from that, it's just terribly useful information to have right where it's needed the most. (See also: Users who want to find their rejected edits)

Well I was just banned from editing posts, as I did not know that I was rejected some suggestions. So having the banner appear is a good idea.
