| Aug 6, 2023 at 15:56 | comment | added | Andrew Morton | Perhaps if users with less than 3000 points could participate then it would be clearable. I don't know if that discussion's happened already. | |
| Aug 5, 2023 at 9:53 | comment | added | mirekphd | Maybe closing less would be a way to deal with the 6% monthly drops of traffic after the GPT competition emerged? But wait, there's more: voting for closing and downvoting should be treated equally because it usually leads to the same result (closure - forced or voluntary), so voting for closing should cause exactly the same amount of pain as dowvoting or else it becomes a free dinner and leads to similar degeneration like here on Meta, where downvotes are free. | |
| Jul 31, 2023 at 15:06 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @music2myear - I'm still the same old me. Highly opinionated, usually with a wry grin;) I just object to people aiming questions directly at something they already ranted over in a completely unrelated question. See Ramhound's opening comment on here & for backstory, the rant that the bottom half of the comments on meta.superuser.com/questions/15043/… devolved into. | |
| Jul 31, 2023 at 15:00 | comment | added | music2myear | Also @Tetsujin I don't know what's up with you, but you seem to be different from what you were, and I wish for the old you back. | |
| Jul 31, 2023 at 14:59 | comment | added | music2myear | I'm avoiding the queue due to the strike. When SE has decided to respect the community that built it and the mods who made it what it is, I'll return to the queue. I tend to be pretty active in there. | |
| Jul 31, 2023 at 12:12 | comment | added | Ramhound | Most users who would vote to close questions, in the close queue, already vote to close the question when they initially see the question (others just answer the question but that’s a different problem). | |
| Jul 30, 2023 at 8:58 | comment | added | Tetsujin | The difference is one is generic, the other we've already fallen out over in rants under another post, which devolved into this need to be right rather than actually dealing with the issue. | |
| Jul 29, 2023 at 18:46 | comment | added | Destroy666 | If that's what you choose to see... 2nd bullet point could be removed too then because I'm apparently "attacking" people who don't use the queues directly. The only difference is there are more clear examples of that behaviour/workflow. Think whatever you want, I made my point in meta about one of aspects of the site that I think is problematic and ends up with maybe 50-75% of questions that should be closed at 3-4 votes and you didn't persuade me it's not one of the issues. | |
| Jul 29, 2023 at 18:05 | comment | added | Tetsujin | All I see is anger rather than logic. I removed a contentious issue… which you are now exposing for how contentious it actually was. This is not your first rodeo. I'm done now. | |
| Jul 29, 2023 at 17:48 | comment | added | Destroy666 | To avoid what in the comments? It's a comment for your edit, which wouldn't have happened if you didn't do it, so that doesn't quite make sense. Also, don't speak for others as to what they're interested in as you can't possibly know that. Else it could be called back as "projecting", but that's also ofc just a theory. If you want to know what I'm interested in, it's stopping contributing here after a half-year experiment, mostly for the same reason as why I haven't used the site a lot before, but that's off-topic here and not related to closed votes queue. | |
| Jul 29, 2023 at 17:24 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @Destroy666 - precisely to avoid this in comments… I see it failed, because you're more interested in 'being right' than fixing the issues. | |
| Jul 29, 2023 at 16:51 | comment | added | Ramhound | I purposefully don’t visit the close queue because the quality of the contributions are extremely poor and honestly I have probably already voted to close the absolute trash being reviewed. As for the removal of the bullet, that’s clearly an indirect personal attack, against a specific user. I will die on my sword for that observation. | |
| Jul 29, 2023 at 14:57 | comment | added | Destroy666 | @Tetsujinn why did you edit out one of the facts from my post? I have no idea how you can call that note "contentious" while your recent questions, coincidentally criticizing reviewers, talks about e.g. "Gold Stupidity Badge", which is 100% a rule break and this observation wasn't insultive nor personal Discouraging people from reviews while not reviewing regularly is also an issue, as this site is entirely based on voluntary actions. | |

Let's keep the contentious comments out of it shall we?

| Jul 29, 2023 at 4:53 | comment | added | galacticninja | Thanks to your meta post, I went to the close votes review queue and used all my 20 votes today. I hope this will help clean up some of the problematic questions. | |

| Jul 28, 2023 at 16:51 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | I suspect there's broader motivation and UX problems there. I'll probably try to give it a go once the strike is over though, I've not been hitting the queues for quite a while cause I was prioritising other things ._> | |
| Jul 27, 2023 at 21:08 | comment | added | anon | This stuff is really old. I had myself suspended from Review Queues last November (9 months ago) and I still show up. Old. | |
