However, I also think you're conflating a few things. As I mentioned in another post, there is a big difference between mistakes and purposeful changes, and I am only concerned with the latter. I trust that most uploaders don't make purposeful changes (hopefully) but I see only good from a guideline encouraging uploaders not to change text and otherwise to note any changes.
You're venturing off on a tangent about generally helping proofread texts for mistakes once uploaded. I'll have you know, I have found mistakes in texts before that I've let the uploader know about and they've accordingly fixed the errors. I think that's a common practice around here for many and that's the very iterative improvement you're speaking of. We can continue to do this and have a sensible guideline to encourage uploaders not to change text. |
So it seems that you are not one of the people that are complaining about it but doing nothing else. In that case, I don't believe that Harry meant to include you in those that are not helping the community.
