in reply to Consider the consideration

I like to see a 4 to 1 ratio before editing. However, some things are no brainers, and are actionable even without a consideration, while other things are beyond what the janitors should take upon themselves to do, even with a unanimous vote for editing.

    So as i understand, it's up to the janitor who is janitoring the node at the moment, or are there common rules like the 4 to 1 ratio?

      It's up to the janitor, but we generally like to see an overwhelming majority to mess with what the poster wrote.

      (The exception is with considerations where reaping is the action indicated. Reaping can only be performed by the NodeReaper, who has a very specific criteria (IIRC, no more then 2 keeps, and at least 5 reaps, but that's off the top of my head, and may change anyway). If it doesn't get to those numbers, it can still be performed directly by a god.)

        2+ keeps or 4+ edits or 1 keep and 2+ edits block NodeReaper.
