Replying to Avatar Vitor Pamplona

New learnings from yesterday's release that I had never considered.

Receiving an edit proposal creates some interesting dynamics:

- If you were ignorant and used a less precise way to argue your point, an expert can quickly fix it for you. This is educational to the author.

- Grammar nazi's can now be happy without adopting a combative reply. Everyone loves getting their typos quickly fixed by somebody else who can just write better.

- If you are using inflammatory language just to get clicks, somebody tones it down in an edit and you reject it, it sends a clear signal that you are here for the clicks and not for the discussion/debate. People can now choose to walk away from profiles that are only here to troll.

What else are people seeing out there?

What kind of spam does it generate? Do proposals show as notifications? Is this filterable? Only from people you follow?

Up to clients to decide how help remove spam edits from the way they choose to notify the user.

We just show every incoming edit right now. Users can block or hide the users they dont want to see or select "All Follows" in the top of the Notification bar to receive only edits from people they know and trust.
