| Aug 27 at 17:20 | comment | added | chivracq | "Following up on questions you review is not relevant here." => Beh yes, of course it is...!, because I only approve(d) Qt's that I handled "from the beginning" (= with 'New' Status) and for which I asked the Asker to address several issues, => 'Requires major changes'... (+ Assessing if the Qt is 'Off-Topic' (the easiest case actually), then searching for Duplicates, also takes quite some time, and only then I go into helping the Asker shape their Qt to be suitable for posting on 'Main'...) | |
| Aug 27 at 17:14 | comment | added | chivracq | Following up on a Qt that I placed in 'Requires major changes' with, say 3 issues that I listed (choose 3 from [Title not descriptive / Wrong Tags / [mre] needed / Input/expected Output missing / Error Msg missing or not as an image / Improve English if too many obvious typos/missing words/no punctuation / No research / ...]) means the Asker only addressed 1 or 2 from the 3, it has nothing to do with "(going into) in-depth conversations with SG askers", no need to exaggerate from one extreme to another... (+ Not mentioned yet, but for "that kind of Qt's", I will also look for a Dupe Target.) | |
| Aug 27 at 16:04 | comment | added | TylerH | @chivracq It sounds like you're conflating "only clicking approve" with in-depth conversations with SG askers. The "approve only" that I removed from the table in my answer is only for the former option, not the latter. | |
| Aug 27 at 16:03 | comment | added | TylerH | @chivracq Following up on questions you review is not relevant here. If a question needs major changes, you click the "needs major changes" review option, which requires that you leave a comment. You can click twice to toggle templates and choose a pre-formatted comment, or if one does not apply, don't click twice and just write a custom comment. But that's hardly "not reviewing the same way". The only difference between what we've described is using a canned comment versus writing a custom one. And, to be clear, writing comments isn't worth a reputation reward, either. | |
| Aug 27 at 16:03 | comment | added | dan1st | I agree that "Requires Major Changes" is the review action that takes the most work but it's also the most important review action and I also think people requesting changes should be awarded if the post is improved and approved by someone else. I don't think people should get rep for the "Requires Major Changes" action alone but I do think there should be an incentive for that action. | |
| Aug 27 at 14:45 | comment | added | chivracq | Hum, ah OK..., "just 2 extra clicks", yeah...!, we don't review in the same way, like I explained in a Comment under Dalija's Answer, I choose only/mostly "problematic" Questions with several issues that need to be addressed, I never use 'Canned Comments' but write a custom Comment listing all the issues, ... and I follow up on the Qt('s) I review... And this takes time, and often some back and forth Comments with the Asker, it's not just 2 clicks like you present it... | |
| Aug 27 at 14:36 | comment | added | TylerH | @chivracq Doing something else and then approving it is not the same as "Approval alone". Also, "require major changes" is just two extra clicks: 1) toggle on comment template 2) choose the appropriate reason template. Hardly effort worth rewarding reputation. | |
| Aug 27 at 14:32 | comment | added | chivracq | "Approval alone does not merit any reputation reward", I don't agree, 'Approval' after a 'Require major changes' (by the same Reviewer) is what takes the most work/time in the 'SG'... | |
