They need to rework the whole edit system. There's been clear abuse of it at the current system and most edits are taking even longer than normal submissions, usually its double the length time of waiting for a candidate that has been submitted.
I edit and submit. Southern West Virginia was a huge mess (and still is) of misplaced portals, incorrect names, and duplicates. And then there is the huge amount of low hanging fruit because most of the eligible POIs were never submitted. I shouldn't be forced to chose between cleaning up bad or incorrect POIs and nominating good POIs.
I get trivial edits often. They will add a comma in the description, or change some capitalization like "Named homeowner's association park" to "Named Homeowner's Association Park". Also nefarious location edits or trying to change a portal name to "agent_name's work portal". It should cost a submission. If the area is a mess, then you prioritize your submissions accordingly.
Sometimes for the really bad ones I’ll add a comment on the bottom, but who knows if that ever gets looked at. I think there should be a way for reviewers to flag abuse portal edits. And maybe if a user gets flagged too often, they get a submission slot revoked...
We should be able to report edit abuse, such as some of the ones I've seen lately that were complete nonsense, insults to others, etc. However I do not think it should be impossible, or considered trivial to correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization on portals. Rather than making it harder to submit edits, they need to make it easier to get them approved!
There should be some limit on portal edits. I'm an OPR reviewer and see so many useless and/or unnecessary edits every day. It consumes so much time of people who want to contribute to the community by reviewing submissions.
Your local situation may vary, but I used to hear a lot of edit complaints here as well. Installed a counter and after 1000+ reviews I saw less than 5% edits. I think that is bearable even if you don't like them but my point is do a count for yourself. Tool is called "OPR portal tracker".
@Dirtyjoe619 I disagree. While some may consider correcting a spelling error or adding capitalization to be trivial, we should be able to expect a level of quality that allows people to correct these mistakes. I don't believe there are "trivial" edits. There are absolutely abusive edits and those should be stopped!

Edit are also possible from low lvl so not possible to implement

And if the edit is voted as trivial, then it takes away one portal submission and 5 points from your upgrades score.
