“Sinking in Vanilla” sounds a lot like muting a discussion in gmail. Wouldn’t that make more sense? Each person mute whatever is being constantly bumped and is of no interest to them.

Wikipedia has a “minor update” feature, which is somewhat similar to @fysics suggestion. Suppose someone wants to edit a wiki post to fix a typo. Perfectly valid minor update. Suppose someone wants to post an updated broken link. Perfectly valid minor update. Anyone should be able to do it, no trust level should be required there.

To that, it’s as @haiku already said: simply allow for mods to never ignore “minor” contributions. This actually is also good for mod, I suppose, you’d know the user believes it’s a minor contribution.

I think this feature makes a lot of logical sense to have, but then again, I don’t moderate large communities, nor do I make my contribution by watching any lists of topics.
