Edit - Meta Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Surely it is only noise if we know the policy is to allow this behavior by default ?

Does this comment suggest otherwise? (quoted in my answer) I agree with you it would probably be received as noise.

It seems to me the rest of the FAQ "criminalizes" disengagement. It's not clear to me where SE are going with this. How "accident" and "deliberate act of disobedience" are defined is problematic. I do not want to labelled as an offender by accident and I can't undertake to edits and respond to any or all requests (or demands as they seem to be now). Real clarity is required as to how we protect ourselves.
