They're not a moderator, apparently. Nor do they have the "edit posts" ability, so I'm honestly a bit confused here.
  • I strongly oppose the refusal to accept these tag edits. Many of the edits were declined by the same moderator with similar reasons, namely that "it's not worth bumping posts for silly tags". This is incorrect reviewing. This is an incorrect reason for declining edits. The reason is quite simple: correctly tagging posts is crucial to this site. Tags aren't just keywords; tags are _the_ way we organize posts. If all posts had been correctly tagged in the first place, or these issues had been fixed early, we wouldn't have been in a situation where we'd have the problem of inactive posts getting bumped. Refusal to fix the tagging only postpones the problem.
  • The fact that posts get bumped for such minor edits, is a flaw in the system, not a flaw in the edit. Don't punish users, nor our knowledge base, for a flaw in the software.

Specify which edits I oppose the refusal of. There are more than just tag edits on the list, and my answer does not concern the review of those.
