Is this worthy of a spam flag ? stackoverflow.com/a/25220855/4428462 Seems like it's pomoting some product without disclosing affiliation. Maybe a mod attention flag explaining that it's not "serious" spam ?
 
We really need spam flags with comments

7:16 AM
@JanDvorak You could probably leave a comment on the post itself explaining why it seems spammy, and presumably a mod would see it.
 
I don't think a mod would see a comment. 2 out of his 3 answers promote this though..
 
@JonasCz IIRC, mods see comments when they review flags, but I could be wrong.
Though, honestly, a custom flag could probably be raised for spam, though it'd take longer to be handled.
 
@JonasCz the questions need to be nuked too ... nothing good can come out of this kind of questions

Oh, you mean a comment in addition to a flag. That makes sense. I've already done custom mod flag, it's been pending for two weeks now..

Hopefully the flag queue should get handled more quickly now that the new mods are elected.
Though with all the mods stepping down lately, it does seem unlikely.
 
I wish I had enough rep to close vote. I presume my "should be closed" flags only send stuff into the close queue ?

CV Option 1: Increase the high-traffic but non-SO sites quote of CVs from 24 CVs to 36 CVs.

CV Option 2: Delete votes scale but close votes do not. Say what? Fix this: Award +1 CV for each 3k over the 3k minimum needed until a max of 100 CVs is reached on !SO sites, or 200 CVs on SO.

CV Option 4: Grant "very" high rep users with a very good track record of being right about closure "higher weighted" CVs, so double-strength (counts as 2x) for the good but not absolute best ones and triple-strength (3x) for the very highest by the rep+record metric, so that that way it takes 3 votes from th
Those are bits, so you can pick more than one. 3=1+2, 5=1+4, 6=2+4, 7 picks all of them.
The interesting thing about bit 4 is that it is not wholly reputation based.
It is based on one's record, like flags.
I suppose I should go formally propose this if it is not a dupe.
And if it is a dupe, what hasn't it happened yet?
I run out constantly.
 
Option 5. Stop accepting questions on SO. We have plenty.
 
Option 6, close/ restart the site
^^^ inspired by StackEgg game
 
Option 7. Mod for a day lottery, if you win you get full mod powers and can write a script to close everything for a random reason.

@rene Yes, he is. Which is why I present option 3.
 
@rene Shog is right. The close system has a huge flaw, even though it's tiny. Now that SO is growing into a huge site, its tiny problems are surfacing and have to be dealt with in the right options.

Some sort of dampening effect that fed back into the determination might be en...

 
@PeterJ yea, probably the same. If it's quickly disputed that must mean triage since the close queue would likely take a lot longer to dispute
 
The double-badge solution pair at the bottom addresses Shog’s concern while also creating new capability-related privs tied to actual performance and domain expertise.
The only thing I haven’t thought about is how this scales for smaller sites, but perhaps it is not so much of an issue there. I don’t know.
> TL;DR:

• Give holders of CVRQ Steward + silver tag-badge holders double-weighted CVs in that badged tag.

• Give holders of CVRQ Steward + gold tag-badge holders triple-weighted CVs in that badged tag.
Wouldn’t that be a good idea?
Neither is a binding vote, but it is heavier.
And it is tied to domain expertise.
Not just how funny people think you are.
 
Yea. I like it. Get err done!

Of course, I have posted this on Saturday morning during the corpse-grey hours of pre-dawn — the absolute worst time to post anything.
If I had posted it on Tuesday UTC business-morning, it would have stood a much better chance of being noticed.
And it is silly to bounty a question I have myself answered.
Hm,, or maybe it’s Sunday morning that’s the dead time. I looked at graphs once. Either way, weekends are bad times for posts. The supercollider tends to accumulate coprolites over the weekend.

Because as you know I value clean aesthetics above all other things when it comes to programming languages.
