It's too easy to approve edits compared to rejecting them, and that has been voiced in chat, with crap edits being approved. There's a badge for it, and users choose the way of least resistance. | |

| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:57 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @studiohack And that's exactly why we need the balance of required effort between approval and rejection. Otherwise people going for the reviewer badges are just going to approve all edits without looking closely, because it's quicker. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:55 | comment | added | studiohack | @DanielBeck I don't mess around much with suggested edits for two reasons. 1) All 2K+ can approve and 10K+ can see the queue. 2) it is just too much of a pain with many of the edits out there. I think it's too much work rejecting for that matter. Too many reject reasons. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:51 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @Sathya studiohack argues that having to select similar options when approving makes approval "too much work". But verifying suggested edits, especially when content is concerned, for correctness, is already much more effort than then selecting an option or typing three words why it's a good edit. That's what my comment was about. I still don't get what you were referring to in your first comment. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:46 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | @DanielBeck I don't see the point. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:36 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @Sathya See OP. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:33 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | @DanielBeck what choices do you get when opting to reject a suggested edit? Please post a screenshot. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:28 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @Sathya What are you talking about? I suggest it should mirror the rejection selection. There's no options and customization either. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 18:05 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | @DanielBeck Starts off with one radio button, then goes to options, then to customized etc etc | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 17:24 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | Figuring out whether substantial, content-oriented edits are actually true is already tons of work. Not sure how significant one radio button is. | |
