I think they should raise the number of allowed close votes per day for the event. I am still motivated to help but have to wait for tomorrow now.

@atticae better you come back tomorrow than burn out today

I got audit failed again for clicking on the close button to see what would be the duplicate to see if that needs closing when closing duplicates again -_- really annoying.

@BenjaminGruenbaum Isn't the duplicate shown in a seperate tab page?
 
Benjamin Gruenbaum
Benjamin Gruenbaum
@ProgramFOX what?
 
ProgramFOX
ProgramFOX
@BenjaminGruenbaum Oh no, I'm confused with reopen votes I think.
Anyway, there is at least one review queue where there are two tabs: Question and Duplicate
Not sure whether it is Close Votes or Reopen Votes.
 
Anna Lear

that's the close
for questions that are, surprise, nominated for closure as dupes :)

Can't blame you though @ProgramFOX. Nobody pays attention in those queues. I just mash buttons hoping I don't get banned.

@Shog9 two days then? ;) With 11k done and 9k to go, we should have the first sprint done by tomorrow. That is, if we maintain that level of work
Anyway good to see something happening in that area. Thanks for the event.

Absolutely @atticae. Then again "some people" are away over the weekend ....

@atticae be careful about confusing reviews and review tasks - after 10K reviews, we have just over 4K tasks done and just under 10K tasks left to do

@Shog9 Ah, damn.

@Shog9 That's pretty awesome.
I wonder if a lot of the "more reviewers" are people who are coming back to the queue after giving up =)
 
atticae
atticae
If we only have the close votes now where already 4 votes are cast, would not each new review equal a completed review task?
 
Andy
Andy
Not if they don't vote to close
 
jadarnel27
jadarnel27
@atticae There are questions where the combination of votes and flags are greater than 4.
So some may have 1 close vote, and 3 close flags.
 
atticae
atticae
@Andy Oh, I thought the system was "best of 5 wins".
Is there a thread that explains the system?
 
Andy
Andy
7:25 PM
@jadarnel27 explained it much better. The flags are included in the 4 votes cast, sorry
 
atticae
atticae
So, flags dont count I guess?
 
Bart
Bart
Not as a direct vote, no
 
jadarnel27
jadarnel27
@atticae It takes 5 close votes to get the question out of the queue. It takes 3 "leave open" votes to get the question out of the queue.
 
atticae
atticae
Ah, alrighty then.
 
jadarnel27

Regardless of the order of the votes.

@jadarnel27 or one edit

@3ventic People do that? =P

I do it
Sometimes I abuse it as a super-"leave open"
And now it's going to be changed, isn't it? :p
 
jadarnel27
jadarnel27
I don't think I realized it worked that way.
 
atticae

So in the worst case 7 people would have to review a question until it gets closed. No wonder the queue is so large.
 
The Guy with The Hat
The Guy with The Hat
@atticae But best case is 3
Well, actually one, but that's only for mods
 
atticae

7:32 PM
Not if the question is garbage. ;)
 
Shog9

@atticae now you kinda get why I hate it when folks try to use closing as a "super downvote" for stuff they just don't like, right? Wastes a LOT of time for very little gain.
 
The Guy with The Hat
The Guy with The Hat
@atticae How so?

atticae
atticae
@TheGuywithTheHat Well, if you need 5 votes to close, I don't see how best case is 3 with a garbage question.
 
The Guy with The Hat
The Guy with The Hat
@atticae Oh. Right. I need a new brain

general question about meta, is it important that questions focus on Stack Overflow site vs Stack exchange platform in general?
 
The Guy with The Hat
The Guy with The Hat
@MagicMan No
 
MagicMan
MagicMan
I saw this in the "tour" section for meta: "Lots of topics are fair game, as long as they are about the Stack Exchange family of Q&A websites in some way."
do badge mods/additions have to work for all SE sites? or can they apply to individual ones?
 
The Guy with The Hat
The Guy with The Hat
@MagicMan They should apply to all sites
 
Bart
Bart
Top tip: be careful about badge suggestions
 
MagicMan
MagicMan
hah, yeah i figured, was thinking about a badge similar to generalist, but specifically for programming langs
doesn't seem like it would apply to other sites, SO/programing specific
ran across some of the questions from like '09 asking for a "Polymath" badge: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/12603/…

All questions should be answered if you can. Voting and Closing of the question is a separate issue. — Lance Roberts 1 hour ago

Why? If it is a dupe you don't want it to be answered?

The blanket statement that all question should be answered if you can just plain annoys me.

Sorry if it's been asked before, but what is going on the review queue? How did it go from 100k+ a week ago to ~9k now? Is everyone just review more frequently?

Q: Fuzzy the number of questions in the close review queue, a dopamine for the shutterers

randomUsers are freaking out over the number of questions with close votes. More so when they look at the review queue and have to grab a newspaper to fan themselves as they do declare that the high number is giving them palpitations. Currently that number represents all questions waiting for a pillo...

Q: Let's burn down the close queue!

Phew, I suppose the dopamine theory works, my first ever 40 close vote reviews / day. There ought to be a badge. And now, though I am very grateful for their service, I must also question the sanity of anybody wanting to be a moderator and have an obligation to do that kind of work like every day ;)
 
atticae

@hyde Yeah, that somehow reminds me why I never ever would work in first level support. Some of those questions are horrible, both in content and style.
