I've posted on user walls that I liked their edits many times that it itself starts looking like spam. In essence this new feature removes threads/edits with little discussion value in favor of quick notices that might actually increase the number of people deciding to let people know their edits matter (I want to see someone post on another's wall every time a good edit is made to spite those that think not doing so is just them being "lazy"). Some people join Wikia because they feel their edits mean something; current editors don't care if editors know their edit matters, let them know conservatively, and/or belief posting a quick "nice edit" thread is a waste of space.
