Cannot accept suggested edits to my post, because I don't have permission to change moderator-only tags
Shouldn't I be allowed to accept an edit to my own post?
Now here I can't, because the suggested edit adds a tag that I am not allowed to add. Other edits are also not possible (because it asks first to accept/reject the already suggested edit).
This error message appears when trying to approve the edit:
Failed: You don't have permission to change moderator-only tags.
I didn't try to reject it because I want that edit to be approved and that has, AFAIK, bad side effects for the author of the edit.

Thanks for the report. The approval failed because the edit added a moderator-only tag -- default-rules on Code Golf, like the status-* tags, can only be added by moderators. But they can be suggested by anyone, which we should probably revisit to avoid situations like this. I know there's been past discussion of this, and I'll look into it (but probably won't be able to for a few days).
In the meantime, if you (anyone) receive a suggested edit that you can't approve because of system restrictions, please flag the post to alert moderators. Moderators and admins can approve those edits, and I've just approved the edit on your post.
