| Mar 29, 2020 at 13:53 | comment | added | Scratte | @PM2Ring I've seen it happen. But it doesn't help them much even if they make a really good edit when the Question is at -6 (example) votes. | |
| Mar 29, 2020 at 13:48 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | @Catija When an asker is question-banned they're encouraged to fix their existing bad questions. Sometimes, instead of cleaning up the question they replace its contents with a totally different question. (I guess that's ok, unless it invalidates existing answers). I don't know how common that practice is on SO, but I see it fairly regularly on Physics.SE. | |

| Mar 28, 2020 at 13:46 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | Well - if its possible to edit a post that has clear intent, but is badly worded, people do. You can neither comment, nor edit if a post is invisible. And I've seen folks (rarely but rather gloriously) work wonders in copy editing on a post | |
| Mar 28, 2020 at 13:35 | comment | added | John Bollinger | I'm not sure I follow "Community editing has always been a critical part of the reopening cycle." Certainly community editing is a big thing generally, but I'm not aware of it routinely being part of the reopening process, much less a critical part. Community commentary, yes, but I haven't seen (or at least recognized) community editing being used in this role. | |

| Mar 28, 2020 at 3:35 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | With the editing of very old posts - are they open? If they're closed, they'd be deleted, no? We're not sure how we'll address currently closed posts yet, so there may be a window where a very old closed post isn't deleted but is still on site but it seems like checking for an edit window would be a way to prevent that sort of abuse. :) | |
