A big part of why closing is seen as unfriendly is a separate issue. The focus of this project is getting questions that should be closed and that valued, experienced close voters judge to be close-worthy... closed... along with making reopening similarly easy in cases where it's deemed appropriate. I don't think the tag badge holders are necessarily experts. What tag badge do you need to have to identify a shopping question? | |

| Feb 2, 2022 at 9:50 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | @catija Do you care more about advoiding being seen as unfriendly by new users or advoiding driving away the experts by showing them low quality questions? Provided great questions don't get closed, I have no issues with many "just about OK" questions getting closed in error. The tab badge holders are the experts, eg your important users. | |
| Feb 2, 2022 at 5:50 | comment | added | Catija Staff | I'm intrigued by your last paragraph as an option. It seems like it might be a way to balance some of the concerns I've seen but I'm not sure whether I agree with your statement that people who see questions outside of review read them more carefully. While there are certainly people who are robo-reviewers or who don't read particularly closely, I think there's also people who see lots of new questions in their tags and just assume they're the same as other questions and vote to close them... I think it's a problem in both places. | |
