| Jul 16, 2013 at 7:30 | comment | added | Tobias Kienzler | @Shog9 Then I misunderstood you there, or maybe I was slightly exaggerating... Anyway, I'm just trying to help reducing the close votes queue. Maybe allowing <3k users with a tag-specific badge to VTC on questions with only that tag? | |
| Jul 15, 2013 at 21:49 | comment | added | Shog9 | I didn't say any of that, @Tobias; I'll wager very few people ever gain the ability to vote to close via XKCD links. And while there most certainly are common patterns of badness between questions on various sites, there are also subtle differences that often trip up folks who've spent most of their time on a different site (the abysmal failure rate of migrations from SO to Server Fault is a pretty good example of this). | |
| Jul 15, 2013 at 9:36 | comment | added | Tobias Kienzler | @Shog9 So you're telling me a rather new user who gets 20+ upvotes for XKCD comic answers or who only participates in hot-linked questions has more of an understanding than someone specialized to a niche and participating for multiple years? | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 19:09 | comment | added | Tobias Kienzler | @Shog9 I've been spoiled in that respect, I admit, but nowadays you should consider that folks have >3k on other SE sites and did collect experience with bad questions there. And while the contents obviously differ, the general indication of a severely broken question is the same | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 19:02 | comment | added | Shog9 | Actually, @Tobias - that right there would be my primary argument against opening this up any further: you may have a pretty good understanding of what SO is about, but unless you've actively and productively participated in this your understanding is still limited; the folks who've spent months or years struggling to answer poorly-defined questions (with the askers often changing them mid-stream) will tend to have a much more practical understanding of what makes for a good question... and what signals a bad one. | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 11:29 | comment | added | Tobias Kienzler | It'd be more like "Your question has 3.25 close votes"; the fractional part should be omitted to avoid the confusion you hint at. I'm on SO since 3 years now but still ~2k due to programming not being my main profession and my lack of aggressively trying to amass rep, but I think I have a vague idea what SO is about and what not... But that's precisely why I suggest not counting the 1k votes as full. Consider us apprentices. Consider this delegating powers. One could still require at least two 3k close votes, so less than half as many 3kers need to review a question when assisted by 12 1kers | |
