@AlexisKing increasing close votes rather

40 is the default limit for reviews

@Shog9 I think you may have missed the point, which is actually probably my fault for not making it clear enough. Let’s make it clear this time: I simply think the number of close votes should be increased to 60, but the CV reviews per day should remain capped at 40. That doesn’t require changing any of the logic (at least I would hope it doesn’t), and it accomplishes my goal. — Alexis King 16 hours ago

Yes, so, the issue is simple: once I finish the review queue I am basically out of close votes, which is frustrating. I simply want more close votes than I can spend in the queue so that I have enough available for ordinary, non-review browsing.

@AlexisKing ok?

Remember, very few people actually "finish" review on a regular basis (for close review). Fewer still use all their close votes.

@Shog I am unclear on what you are confused about. There is clearly some disconnect between what I am thinking and what you are saying. I intentionally included the “It was never about the queues” section onwards to explain the bulk of my frustrations.

(As well as some quotes demonstrating this is not an isolated problem.)
