Mayor demands construction of three brand new floodgates that the fortress has no use for. Three new floodgates are built out of gold to be sold when the merchants arrive. Mayor demands no floodgates are to be sold to the outside world. Guess what new decorations he is getting later today in his bedroom, kitchen and office?

@Dronehinge downvote, carry on.

Closing is mostly pointless, by answering stuff you're exponentially more helpful.

No

We need to increase question quality. Post volume is not of consequence.

Of course, I definitely agree, which is why downvoting is super important.

Post volume is not important but inclusiveness is also important, we can improve quality a lot more by not being nasty to new users than by closing more.

Downvoted open questions get deleted automatically anyway.

Wait, isn't being nasty to invoke qban exactly what we want?

Sympathy upvotes and answers on bad questions surely won't help with question quality. Close and delete.

12:31 PM

@bjb568 I'm just saying that close voting bad content is mostly pointless from a pragmatic point of view. Downvoting is much more effective and should be done more. As for Q-Ban it's not a goal, it's a mean.

Closing certainly speeds up the deletion process…

Close voting bad questions is good, but it's a lot less effective than actually answering stuff and creating quality content. A single good answer is more important to the site than 10 close votes.

@bjb568 I'm not saying close-voting isn't a valuable contribution, just that producing quality content is more important.

It also gives people perspective, I know that's true for me, when I don't answer more than a week or two I become meaner towards people who ask questions or people who provide bad answers to them.

Fine, if it's on a good question that isn't a dup. There aren't many of those left.

There are tons of those in javascript in my experience, people would just often rather answer 3 bad questions they'd get +4 for than one good one that'd yield a +10

Maybe someone can identify real dupe questions on the three vansky spam answers , one is here superuser.com/a/934067/172747

12:36 PM

@BenjaminGruenbaum when I was on an answering spree last election, I just felt dirty. I was encouraging the use of SO as a free debuging tool.

And it reinforced in my mind how OP is always a helpless idiot.

@bjb568 I'd like to think I was not an helpless idiot on my 60+ questions

No, but those good questions are rare.

I probably have more deleted questions than not, myself.

Sure, lots of people don't read the docs, but by providing a good answer you get to give insights docs don't or won't. I agree there is a question quality problem, but I think answering is good from a perspective PoV, and that downvoting is something people don't do enough.

Also, when I learn a new technology I run into these less than perfect questions and enjoy them when the docs are terrible, hard to find, are outdated or misleading.

[ SmokeDetector ] Url in title: Problem with redirect domain.com to domain.com on multi-language site by xavip on joomla.stackexchange.com

The only place where closing is immensely and super useful is dupes.

12:40 PM

Docs aren't everything, there's, like, common sense and basic debugging.

And I think SO is part of the problem people have undeveloped debugging skills, or just don't want to bother with it.

I answer questions in the promise tag sometimes where it's the same OP for the 8th time and they're not showing much progress and asking a similar question. The reason I answer them is that I figure out if OP has this issue so do other people.

@bjb568 I think software development is generally flooded with incompetent programmers, I think SO is enabling people who are less competent to develop, I'm not sure if that's a bad thing

I'm pretty sure it is.

I'm pretty sure I was a terrible developer 13 years ago when I started making money, I still built things that people liked (and had a blast doing so). Getting better takes time.

Maybe it's people not having attention spans, but as an industry we're 1.5 million developers short by 2018 according to the US (and 1.8 more in europe). It's interesting to figure out how to make it inclusive but discourage bad questions. I think downvoting is a good balance.

It took you 13 years to not suck? :p

Ah, neuroplasticity and the such, probably.

You seem to have made the assumption I no longer suck :P

Meh, we need to start teaching it earlier, like middle school intro at the latest.
