I think he was suggesting you should wholly batch it, but just made a typo!!

It can repopulate while running? Must be on a treadmill or something.

Don't run the repopulator just for me tho don't want to be the sole reason why you anger the hamsters.
Don't want them comming after me, those little creatures scare the hell out of me

It's known that we get points for editing questions/answers posted by others. But I wonder as to why we get points even for editing our own answers. I think it is indeed one feature which might have been here for a long time but that somehow doesn't make sense.
I think that people should get Editor rep points when they edit something which is not theirs. This is just my suggestion. People may have differing views on this topic I suppose. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Because you're making an effort to clarify or correct your own stuff. That deserves points.

You devil, I've been searching for this point a whole day!
Good to see though that you've put it to good use.

Oh well it can be misused a lot of times. But then again, agreed.

If you post an article, a tip or a blog post and then update it to a new version, you get edit points.
If you post a question or answer and someone else edits the typos or formatting issues, they get points.
If you edit someone else's questions or answers to fix typos, formatting, or correctness, you get points.
I don't see this difffers from the final case:
If you edit your own question or answer to fix typos, formatting, or correctness, you get points.
The general problem many have with this is "Doesn't that mean I can keep editing my own stuff and get lots of points"? The answer is yes, and in fact yes, you can keep editing *anyone*'s posts (given enough rep) to get points in this manner. That's why we have a limit on gaining points for these events per day.

Surprisingly, I edit my own posts quite often, particularly in Q&A. If you get a comment back that indicates a continued lack of understanding (no sh*t, Sherlock!) I often copy the comment into the body of my answer in bold, then add a response below it - that way I can use links, code blocks, and emphasis as necessary.
I do see these as deserving of extra points, to be honest.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Fair enough.
I had to edit my own answer twice as well many times. I think we could do better by having a automatic minor edit or major edit check though. I sort of remember the option "Minor Edit" available when I edited some question or so. Removed sometimes back I think!
