| Jul 21, 2019 at 22:46 | comment | added | Tiago Cardoso Mod | Good point, @ToddA.Jacobs - and agree that "pervasive" (in the sense of widely spread, for non-native English speakers) represents better the underlying idea. | |
| Jul 21, 2019 at 20:17 | comment | added | Todd A. Jacobs Mod | @TiagoCardoso I mostly agree with you, but would suggest "pervasive" rather than "several" as the threshold for a post hitting the broken-window threshold, and clarity as the (intended) primary driver of grammar- or spelling-focused edits. --For the benefit of future visitors, notice how I didn't edit the answer just because I disagree with the word choice in the original post? There's probably a lesson in there somewhere. :) | |

You know the number better than me :) | |

| Jul 16, 2019 at 8:59 | comment | added | Tiago Cardoso Mod | Rules, as any tool, are a means to a purpose. In the case of community rules, the purpose is to make posts as useful as possible. Happens that if someone start bulk editing questions, the welcome page has all items bumped to the top, hiding actual, real-case questions. In these cases, the overall "balance" (value added to the community - value community won't add as questions won't be answered) will be negative. That's what - I believe - we should consider. One-off (non-bulk) edits are ok(ish) though. | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 20:47 | comment | added | Tiago Peres | «Any time you feel you can make the post better, and are inclined to do so. Editing is encouraged!», how true is this quote within this community? I mean, I felt already the posts would get better if users respected tags and when to use them (particularly ms-project and version specific tags), grammatical errors were fixed (for instances, users writing "porject", instead of "project", due to whatever reason), titles respected certain and agreed rules (for instances, the usage of tags, ...). All of this seem to come from the same root which is rules are relative and not expected to be followed. | |
