Now if one sees 30 posts with same user name last active it seems like an obvious assumption these were all or mainly minor edits. (And if one wanted to be sure one could check that users page for recent acitivity). Still some people in general in the patient side got annoyed. So, it might not help that much. | |
| Sep 7, 2013 at 21:12 | comment | added | user9072 | Yes, what @StefanKohl says could also be a good idea. It seems like a still smaller change so could have a better chance of getting implemented. But two points to consider: First, it could then be an issue if say somebody gives a new answer briefly after that somebody makes a small correction and then it seems (but actucally is not true!) that only a minor edit happened (possibly leading to people ignoring the post). | |
| Sep 7, 2013 at 15:47 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | Why not make the entries in the "active" tab itself more verbous? -- Presently they say only "modified xyz mins ago". Wouldn't it be reasonable to make this read "new answer added xyz mins ago" if a new answer was added, or "edited (+X/-Y characters) xyz mins ago" if the post was edited? | |
