All things raised in other meta posts but seemingly left hanging. Just my new-to-the-community view. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 12:39 | comment | added | Brick | Regarding the "more reviewers" part - My view as a new user (with experience on other sites, including 3000+ on "money" before I deleted my account there) is that there are too few good questions on this site to answer and too few users voting on answers when there is a good question. These both hinder reaching review status. What good questions exist are often buried. I can see how one might be bored with by the time that comes at this level of quality. In the short-term, I think the mods should drop their hammer more to get control of quality, and if you wan more active reviewers, vote! | |
| Sep 16, 2017 at 9:50 | comment | added | Aurora0001 | @Jacobm001 I agree entirely, and what I say isn't meant as a jab at moderators here for closing questions on their own—it's necessary, and better than leaving bad questions open. I just know from personal experience that it's more likely that you vote only when absolutely necessary, as your vote is binding (I certainly do on the site I moderate!). I'm sure you feel similarly—if the community could vote to close, it would be preferable (but that doesn't seem to be happening often, and there isn't really a way to solve this other than changing privilege levels, which isn't likely to happen) | |
| Sep 15, 2017 at 20:17 | comment | added | Darth Vader Mod | @Aurora0001, I completely agree with what you are saying, and I would also like to thank you for your contribution to this community as a newer user. I would like to add that having reviewed your edits, you are are making a really positive impact on the community. I think part of the problem also stems from some users not being aware they have sufficient rep to access the review queues. And bulk reviewing everyday also reduces the quality of reviewing. That's one of the reasons I haven't been reviewing so many posts recently. | |
| Sep 15, 2017 at 20:16 | comment | added | Jacobm001 Mod | I would love to use the mod hammer less, but there simply isn't enough community activity to close questions any other way in most cases. It's an unfortunate problem, but not an easy one to fix. | |
