Nov 21, 2013 at 16:31 history closed animusonStaffMod Duplicate of Huge close votes review queue on Stack Overflow [closed]
Nov 13, 2013 at 11:37 comment added gnat @Shai it's not a good sign, but one of a different urgency. Knowing there is ~100K and groving amount of expirable close votes out there would make me quite nervous. But if actially this stuff is split to something like 1) generally stable amount of 10-20K close votes and 2) growing amount of flagged posts that just don't expire, would turn things differently. Don't get me wrong, I'd still worry, but I'd know that there's plenty of time to find a good solution for this growing backlog of flags. Does that make better sense now?
Nov 13, 2013 at 11:33 comment added gnat @Dhaval it will hardly be deleted: answers provide useful information for MSO readers. If you badly want to do something about it, some recipes can be found in The “I Get It” Reputation Problem. Though this would be quite difficult and success isn't guaranteed, so I would recommend you just to move on
Nov 13, 2013 at 11:18 comment added Shai @gnat I can't see how the growth of the queue is a good sign... When I started reviewing (less than a year ago) the queue was ~30K now its three times bigger, and showing no signes of getting smaller...
Nov 13, 2013 at 11:17 comment added Shai @Dhaval meta reputation is not like SO reputation - so don't sweat over it. You proposed a nice idea that sparked a lifely debate - that's a good thing!
Nov 13, 2013 at 11:12 comment added Dhaval @gnat how can i delete this question .. this was my suggestion only to help SO but it has given me more nagative publicity then anything else
Nov 13, 2013 at 11:08 comment added gnat @Shai by the way besides reluctance to change we once discussed, another possible explanation can be that queue is indeed in a better shape than we think it is. Say, if 30K... 50K... 80K items there are simply a backlog of flagged questions, then there may be no reason to worry much (flags to close currently don't expire)

Nov 12, 2013 at 9:53 comment added S.L. Barth is on codidact.com On Meta, downvotes are also used to express disagreement. So a number of people disagree with the proposal.
Nov 12, 2013 at 9:49 comment added Dhaval why there are so many downvotes ?? this is a suggestion only ..

Nov 12, 2013 at 9:08 comment added gnat @Shai I am following this issue and so far, I have seen no signs of progress in dealing with it
Nov 12, 2013 at 9:06 comment added Shai @gnat - are you following up on this close vote queue size issue? have you heard anything from mod/dev actually doing something about it???
Nov 12, 2013 at 9:03 comment added Cjxcz Odjcayrwl Maybe not allow close votes at 2k, but allow reviewing the questions that have at least one close vote. So the user won't be able to cast first close vote, but can review the existing ones.
Nov 12, 2013 at 9:01 comment added Himanshu Related: Allow 1k users to review close votes, but count them only as 0.25 actual close votes

Nov 12, 2013 at 8:48 comment added Shai @Dhaval the vote-to-close review queue size is quite an issue for a long time. It seems like there are many suggestions as to how to handle this (search for [review] [vote-to-close] [stackoverflow] in meta). Yet this issue seems to interest no moderator or dev. Funny? I don't think so.
Nov 12, 2013 at 8:21 comment added user221081 I am 7K+ on stackoverflow and spend here all day but still sometimes have doubts I should be reviewing. It takes lots of SO experience ( not rep points but hanging around and specially reading meta ) to develop a good judgement skills ). There are people capable of achieving 2K in a week or two ( even a month ) but that would not be enough time spent on SO to give someone moderation privileges like voting to close. SO is about quality and not quantity.
Nov 12, 2013 at 8:21 comment added Dhaval @hims056 thx for making it more clearer .. ok yea i wana say that to review a close vote required reputation should be reduced as there are 97k close vote review are there on SO

Nov 12, 2013 at 8:18 comment added Himanshu @juergend - By rep cap he mean close vote privilege.
Nov 12, 2013 at 8:17 comment added jmac @juergend, pretty sure the request is to reduce the privilege for voting to close from 3k reputation to 2k reputation. This is confusing because of the term 'rep cap', but nowhere does this seem to be talking about the 200/day reputation cap.
Nov 12, 2013 at 8:16 comment added juergen d I mean if one hits the rep cap he might just quit Stack Overflow for today and don't review anything.
Nov 12, 2013 at 8:15 comment added Dhaval @juergend .. what do you mean ??
Nov 12, 2013 at 8:14 comment added juergen d Or they just answer less questions and walk away.
