I think there’s the reverse problem with comments: occasionally, I will reply to my own comments instead of editing them because I’m afraid that, since edited comment aren’t moved back to the top of New Comments, no-one will read the edit.
There should be a “minor edit” checkbox (for both articles and comments), so that if I’m just tweaking the grammar I can check it and the post stays where it is, and if I’m adding new content I can uncheck it and the post goes back to the top.
Good point. I am thinking the problem stems from Discussion becoming oversaturated—they move out of New Comments too quickly. Splitting into multiple groups focused on a general topic-area could perhaps alleviate the pressure to make sure that first comment counts / make more comments than needed.
