<p>(Related to this <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4352/is-there-any-way-to-detect-prevent-user-repeatedly-performing-minor-edits-to-b">question</a>, which refers to users editing their own questions to make it appear at the top of the feed)</p>

<p>I just reviewed about 5-6 suggested edits which were all the same: the user suggested removing "Best regards" from the posts. This user most likely searched for "best regards" and suggested edits on the posts he or she could find. That same user has done this before with other pleasantries ("thank you" or whatever it was).</p>

<p>What bugs me--besides being a cheap way to accumulate +2's--was the edit on <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/29889/monte-carlo-approach-to-compute-prediction-interval-for-glm-poisson-neg-bin">this post</a>, which is <strong>a 7-year-old post marked as a duplicated question.</strong> I don't think this is the kind of posts that we want to push back at the top of the feed.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what the solution is, but here are ideas:</p>

<ul>
<li>Somehow lessen the incentive to edit posts <em>for the sake of editing posts</em></li>
<li>Filter which types of edits and/or which types of posts warrant getting the post pushed at the top of the feed</li>
</ul>
