Some years ago I was trying to do something that required a certain amount of points. Perhaps write a comment to a question instead of posting an answer. So I looked for ways to make points. Most of the interesting questions I could easily find looked to be already answered, and the new questions seemed to be mostly requests to fix bugs in people's code.
I saw someone suggest fixing up answers that people had already made, and I found an upvoted answer that had a simple bug in it's code (something like "<" was used instead of "<="). So I went about to fix it, but was instructed that edits had to change more than five characters. I tried to find how people handle this, and the answer I saw was to make additional changes to the answers, no matter if it needed it or not.
In the end I just left the bug in and gave up on trying to provide answers for the site.
