As one of the lowest-reputation users to earn Archaeologist, Research Assistant, and just now Copy Editor, I feel compelled to write this.
You cannot give up after one ban. Get up, look at why you were banned, and try to fix the problem. Looking over your history, it seems crystal clear that your edits aren't thorough enough.
I've found that removing fluff from posts isn't really a good edit on its own—leave that to 2K users. Instead, add in the removal of fluff with other edits, such as:
- Fix terrible spelling and/or grammar
- See that gigantic stack trace or code dump in the question? Put it into a code block.
- If you find a link to an image URL with the text "enter image description here", you can turn the link into an actual image.
- Code spans by themselves on their own line, especially multi-line code spans, usually look much better as a code block.
- Words and phrases in camelCase or snake_case are often variable names, class names, or function names, and can be put in code spans.
- CSS looks much better if you add
<!-- language: lang-css -->, especially if it contains color hexes or ID selectors because those contain # characters which are rendered as comments by default.
This list could possibly also be linked to for users posting comments as answers—if you keep these in mind, it's easy to gain 50 reputation in a day, as I have done on several occasions.
