Jun 18, 2012 at 14:41 comment added jmort253 The shoe will still fit, it's just going to be a different kind of shoe, one that SE would be comfortable wearing because of the positive/negative argument. I think you have a point that after 2k rep helpful edits are approved right away, but there are lots of things that change as we progress. For instance, after achieving the Deputy badge or the Copy Editor badge, the review section will no longer show your progress towards these goals. You also touched on another point that I feel needs to be addressed: The edit approvers need coaching too.
Jun 18, 2012 at 7:19 comment added slhck This is not a bad idea. The problem though is that flags and edits are conceptually different. While flags are being handled by moderators, edits can be approved by (almost) anyone, or at least a vast number of people who don't know what they're doing. Plus, the "helpful" edit count can never rise once you reach 2k (or 20k for tag wikis). Whether this is a real argument against your solution, I don't know. Anyway, if there's really no change in the "We don't want negative messages" mentality, then this would be a viable option.
