We should really be looking at unanswered vs the community's capacity/desire to answer. If unanswered questions continue to grow, eventually the voting that does happen will be too diluted to effectively separate the wheat from the chaff, and the whole system breaks down. (I haven't come up with any good odata queries to gauge where we are relative to that point) Removing the weakest questions, even if they're not that bad, would be one way to refocus the voting. | |
