Close Review Queue

As soon as a question gets a close vote or a recommend closure flag, the post is sent to the queue. As mentioned above, the questions are somewhat sorted in review. Users can select from 4 actions:

• If it is a top level reason (duplicate, too broad, unclear what you're asking, or primarily opinion-based), then the one with the most close votes is shown. In the event of a tie, the most recent vote is displayed.
• For specific off-topic close reasons - any reason that gets at least 2 votes is shown which does allows more than one to be displayed. That is unless it's a custom off-topic reason, as these aren't shown in the box and are posted as a separate comment.

• If it is a top level reason (duplicate, too broad, unclear what you're asking, or primarily opinion-based), then the one with the most close votes is shown. In the event of a tie, the most recent vote is displayed. (Editor's Note: Due to a known bug, for more recent closures, the second most recent close vote is displayed instead. This is considered a bug and will soon be fixed.)
• For specific off-topic close reasons - any reason that gets at least 2 votes is shown which does allows more than one to be displayed. That is unless it's a custom off-topic reason, as these aren't shown in the box and are posted as a separate comment.

• Looks OK means there is nothing wrong with the question. This option will only dequeue the question if it has gotten enough Looks OK reviews. The number required is variable based on the number of flags on the question plus a number set by the site. For instance, if a site ordinarily requires a single Looks OK vote, but the question has 3 flags, then it would need to have 4 Looks OK reviews to dequeue it.
• Edit if the post can be fixed by an edit, user will dequeue the question once the edit is applied.
• Close this is a vote to close the question because it cannot be fixed and should be removed. If the vote is the 5th, then the post is removed from review.
• Delete this is a delete vote (if you have those votes) or a recommend delete on the question. It takes 6 recommend delete/delete votes to remove the question.
• Skip just moves the user to the next post in the queue.

• Close this is a vote to close the question because it is not a good, on-topic question, but can be edited to be on-topic. If the vote is the fifth, then the post is removed from review.
  • Recommend Close - this is shown in lieu of Close to users who don't have enough reputation to vote to close, or have run out of close votes. This option pushes the question into the Close Votes review queue and prioritizes the LQ review task for users who do have enough reputation and votes.
• Delete - this casts a delete vote on the question (if you have enough reputation and votes). This option is for questions that can't be improved if closed and should just be deleted.
  • Recommend Deletion - this is shown instead of Delete to users without enough reputation to vote to delete, or have run out of votes. This causes the post to be prioritized for users who do have enough reputation and votes.
  • If the question reaches enough delete votes cast inside and outside the review UI (3-9 depending on score), it will be dequeued. It can also be dequeued if six Recommend Deletion or Delete reviews (four on Stack Overflow) are cast. Note that in the latter case, if the question has a positive score, it will be forwarded to moderators instead of being deleted.
• Skip just moves the user to the next post in the queue.
