Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Jan 31, 2013 at 16:51 comment added Jack Douglas @Lorem I think that only half of that is happening: I don't get the feeling we are hugely influential in the 'shut down poor questions' side of the equation. My best guess as I mention in my answer is that it is just easier for the average SO user to guess what is on-topic on dba.
Jan 31, 2013 at 16:02 comment added Lorem Ipsum You should see JNK's comment under Jack's answer... "Part of our situation is also an active chat room community with a lot of users having migration rights on SO - if we see something that belongs on our site we can collectively bring it over ourselves". This gives you some more context. Part of the reason why migration to DBA has been so effective is precisely because of what dasblinenlight suggested — users with 3k on both places (or active on both) quickly shut down crap and migrate the good ones. The only difference is that it just so happened to be the case here and not by SE design.
Jan 31, 2013 at 13:29 comment added ben is uǝq backwards I've updated based on your comment @ChrisF. This would also raise the possibility of having more than 5 sites as a target; though I'm not certain how well that would work so I haven't included it. The potential negative is that communities become insular toward newer users but this can happen already and it would be up to the community team to police; as they do now.

Jan 31, 2013 at 13:17 comment added ChrisF Mod I like the idea of only having the sites that actively want to be migration targets on the list. When there is the feeling (and evidence) that bad migrations are happening, the site comes off the list. I do think that moderators should be able to migrate anywhere though.
Jan 31, 2013 at 13:12 comment added ben is uǝq backwards No @JonEgerton; there would be 4 sites in the migration list + MSO as defined by the number of successful migrations / something else. Moderators would have the ability; as they do now to migrate to more on the condition that the target site's communities want to be a target for SO.
Jan 31, 2013 at 13:11 comment added Jon Egerton How would you stop there being a large number of migration targets available from SO itself - wouldn't many of the sites be a possible target for SO?
