@FamousBlueRaincoat I'm still not sure if those types of questions are spam or not... so I just went with off-topic.

user259867

12:53 AM

@Shog9 But the most relevant number is for how long "triaged and good" posts are held up. The "need improvement" are not much of concern, because presumably edits will bump them.

hichris123

@AndrewT. Yeah, brings up a good point @Shog9: for those unsalvageable questions, what percent are forced out of review by outside actions (close votes, etc from outside the Triage queue)?

Shog9

Off the top of my head, roughly 15%

hichris123

Huh. Less than I would have thought.

user259867

@hichris123 given that they are not shown on the front page while in review, not surprising.

hichris123

@FamousBlueRaincoat That's true, however, I barely ever use the front page now.

user259867

12:56 AM

They are supposed to not be shown in tag views either, but I don't know if that's implemented.

Geoff Dalgas

it is true that most people finding questions to answer camp out on a tag or tag combo page

@AndrewT. newest isn't much help, should be fine for newest page and sorting by tag(s)
