Forum:Edits (do not) Count

It has come to my attention that some people inflate their edit count. And we provide an incentive and then reward them for it. We are supposed to reward good edits, specifically ones that are helpful. Instead we reward many tiny edits with a place on the main menu, and the title of a "Top Editor". To me, being a Top Editor does not mean you go through pages, re-saving them 4 times over, but taking the time to make meaningful changes.

My Proposition? Instead of displaying users who make a ton of edits on the "Top Editors" section, we replace those names with people who have been a featured user. For "notable edits of excellence, putting quality of quantity".

The names would display the last 9 Featured Users (now known as Top Editors) with the last link saying "More Top Editors".
