| Mar 13, 2015 at 0:09 | comment | added | davidkonrad | @SevenSidedDie Funny analogy :) Yes, 100 is perhaps too low. I think Shog9 has a point. If I understand correctly, you could say that if there is two or more close votes pointing to the same supposed duplicate, then the user should not be able to click on a dismiss / reject button. This would make sense. | |
| Mar 13, 2015 at 0:00 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | It's true that the association bonus is fluffed as "because we trust you elsewhere", but it's still a trivial amount of rep to get. The trust is also at the level of "you know how to tie your shoes elsewhere, so we're pretty sure you can here too"; while trusting that a user understands how closing should be done isn't assumed until much higher levels of rep. It's moot if it's not going to key off rep, but if it was, it should be somewhere higher than 100, though possibly not as high as the 3000 needed for closing privileges, I admit. | |
| Mar 12, 2015 at 23:56 | comment | added | davidkonrad | @SevenSidedDie, when a user receives a starting 100 rep he or she is considered "experienced Stack Exchange network user with 200 or more", so you would expect such a person know what a duplicate is. I agree with you to a certain point, just think the close-vote privilege is rather high (3000) - it is hard to get there. And compared with the point of "nagging" users who have posted a supposed duplicated question, it seems to me to be an exaggerated high demand. | |
| Mar 12, 2015 at 23:49 | comment | added | davidkonrad | @Shog9, you are right of course - new users also faces questionable dup-suggestions. Number of close votes a good idea. | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 23:30 | comment | added | Shog9 | Not sure this is necessary, but if we do it it'll probably be controlled by the number of close votes rather than the rep-level of the asker - it's not like new-user questions are somehow immune to bad dup-suggestions. | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 22:29 | comment | added | Iszi | +1 to this and @SevenSidedDie's comment. I suggested a similar threshold (access to close-as-duplicate review queue) in a comment to my own answer. | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 21:47 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | Instead of 100 rep (that's trivially easy just by associating accounts and doesn't demonstrate understanding of SE), attach the dismiss ability to having the close-vote privilege. Having that privilege demonstrates (one hopes!) that they know how duplicates work, and can confidently dismiss the banner. | |
