Few minutes after I posted a questionquestion it was edited twice ... but the edits were not constructive in any way:

  • "Kubuntu Quantal" was changed to "Kubuntu 12.10"
  • "doing fine" was changed to "working fine"
  • "Macbook 8,2" was changed to "MacBook 8.2" (which is wrong if you strictly obey sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name)

Other than that, no comments, answers or votes were left.

In my opinion, this is truly not in the spirit of Stack Exchange. On quick judgment, this looks like some users try to strictly enforce their view of how Ubuntu versions should be mentioned and what conversational style micro-modalities should be used here.

Isn't there a general rule active to prevent such actions?

(... or is this possible on purpose, so we all earn the clean-up badge?)
