The soft limit is more about informing close voters that the target question has already many duplicates closed against it, so they have double check whenever the target is valid. | |

| Mar 14, 2023 at 21:16 | comment | added | Karl Knechtel | "questions that are asked frequently (by the number of questions that are closed as duplicate against it), should be soft limited to 10 and hard limited to 50." Do you mean to have additional duplicates automatically deleted when closed, or just what? I think there is a problem whereby new duplicates of a question might be noticeably higher quality than existing closed ones. There's also a huge problem on Stack Overflow with duplicates simply going unrecognized and not closed as such. | |
| Mar 14, 2023 at 21:14 | comment | added | Karl Knechtel | "Once you implement the first two, track the behavior of the ratio between upvotes and downvotes between users with the voting privilege and users without it (include both anonymous and registered ones)." I address this in my own answer, BTW. We don't have accurate stats right now because users in the 15-125 rep range get their up-arrow-clicks counted as "upvotes" and their down-arrow-clicks counted as "feedback". But last I checked (with the "moderation tools"), "votes" on Stack Overflow are more than 90% positive, close to 95%, while "feedback" is only about 60% positive. | |
