comment Why are there so many bins amongst Stack Overflow chat rooms?
@Makoto lol, 'harsh'. This is putting it politely.

comment Why can't it just stay off?
<slight explosions of rage> It does not matter what it sounds like, what matters is that turning it off is BROKEN and a risk to humanity!

comment What’s (not) spam?
Perhaps this raises a question about how flags are handled. It seems unfair for a user to be penalised because he is raising flags that are rendered moot.

comment Am I high? Room owners can edit message that they moved posts?
@AnnaLear this is not a duplicate of that question, that question is a feature request. This is a bug. Completely different question! Also, to close as dupe, it should have a question with an ACCEPTED answer.

comment When reviewing you should see what others have voted for so far
@Flyk I agree with that, but blindly following is no worse than blindly accepting everything. You seem be living in some fantasy land where the only people reviewing are those who take the time to actually think about the quality of the edit.

@flyk but the problem is, as I see it, is that people will have to have already made up their mind that they wanted to reject an edit. Seeing the other votes only helps decide why to reject the edit.

I don't think is a duplicate really. But this probably should be closed now. Reading that other question, it's clear the view "Review blind to what others think, and never know if you are 'right' in your decision"

Opposed to now where robo reviers blindly approve, resulting in edits that shouldn't have been made being accepted and thus these edits never getting undone.

As I said in the question, if the edit really need to be made, someone else will propose it.

Except I am not proposing that you see how many accepta have so far been granted.

The problem is though, too many edits are just being accepted, accepted, accepted. The idea is not to have people fall back on the views of others, but to make them think twice about blindly accepting. And yes, it is about the views of others. What one person considered a substation change another might think is too trivial.
