  • To a certain extent, I think YES. In cases like typos, and other grammatical errors, we should be able to collectively edit old questions, and let the staff review and accept or deny our moderation, just like they do with nonsense and offensive material.   Here is more on this topic, from AB-Rich.   AB-Rich replied... AB-Rich: Sep. 18, 10:33 AM in response to Chris's comment on Sep. 16, 11:00 PM Would it be possible for users to edit existing questions for typos, and grammatical errors, to maintain the value of content? In a similar way we flag, of course, approved by the staff, and not changing the meaning, just affecting the searchability, and quality of content? The bottleneck there would be admin review, and allowing people to edit other people's content would be ripe for abuse. What we have considered is allowing users to flag questions (not answers) for spelling/grammar and provide a space to suggest corrections. I'd love for all AB questions to be grammatically correct, but with the submission volume we have now, let alone all the older questions, the same review bottleneck problem would still exist. It would only work if we could support it properly. http://www.answerbag.com/blog/comments/180?page=2& comments 28 and 29.
