| Aug 12, 2013 at 18:15 | comment | added | Jyrki Lahtonen | Another incident today: a minor edit changing $\vec{x_0}$ to $\vec{x}_0$. That might have been ok, but it was forcing a stylistic preference of the editor over that of the author. Who knows? May be somewhere, the latter means the zeroth component of a vector!! I had just clicked "reject", when I received the message that it has already been approved, by 2 votes to 1. I think that it should take at least 3 ayes to cancel one nay, as reviewers usually don't reject without a good reason, but accept-automatons abound. | |

| Aug 11, 2013 at 12:16 | comment | added | rschwieb | I think the tool made it possible for a lot of people to become hard working sloppy reviewers. Just a day or two ago, I was the only dissenting vote on an edit which attempted to convert a question statement from degrees to radians. There was no reason to do that, and it was both potentially confusing to the op and unnecessary | |
| Aug 11, 2013 at 11:18 | comment | added | Jyrki Lahtonen | The irony of me bumping and old thread in this way did not escape me. I just didn't want to post a duplicate, and also had to blow off some esteem. | |
