That's the reason I left SO while still in my noob phase - they'd make really strange changes, such as adding typos or removing paragraph breaks. And it's obvious why, too: yes, they get points for it and their name is now right next to the answer. I also found they had generally insane amounts of karma. Yeah, I really don't get SO, for lots of reasons.
- insteadof 13y agoNo, you don't get any points for making edits unless you're under 2000, and even then it has to be robo-approved blindly by three other users.
- LinaLauneBaer 13y agoNo matter why some users do this: It sucks. I mean I am the one giving the answer - I am the expert. It should be the expert who decides which term/sentence should be emphasised and which don't. I have nothing against correcting my bad english but when it comes to the content or formatting I don't want to be messed with it unless you want me to leave.
