This is neither a step back, nor forward. We've had the power for years and our "abuse" of it tended to be aimed at creating lulz and/or protecting the site/community/our hosts from some dangerous liability. If we choose to, I would (personally) be okay with leaving a comment to the OP. But I would prefer to have such notifications (and potential derailments of discussion) be at my discretion and choice. Unless our hosts directed the ninja that "if you edit, you must message" or "if you edit, you must comment". But that could be bothersome and more harm than help. We've been given some direction regarding our edit capabilities, and we're likely to follow those directions (which are reasonable and not about us going nuts). Tag cleanup is really a favor to the OP and not meant to be any sort of discipline, correction or even a "teachable moment". We'd like to see EVERY topic get as much interest, response and participation that the community is capable or inclined to give it. Think of our occasional and rare edits as Television Network Execs putting a show into a "better time slot" and putting out some trailers/adverts for the show. That's our goal, to make topics easier to find and more accessible. Example: I added a tag of #moderation. I think that's not a bad addition or idea. No need for you to feel as if you've been violated, spanked, corrected, counseled, disciplined or were "wrong". I thought of a tag would likely be used in order to try to find a topic such as this. Do you feel that it has somehow soiled the integrity of your OP?
