| Oct 16, 2014 at 18:10 | comment | added | Excellll | @Mokubai I'm more inclined to make that judgment only when there's a significant disparity in quality. Otherwise, it would set the standard where a user could be justified in asking a duplicate if they thought they could ask it better than the original poster did, even if the original question was clear enough to get useful answers. | |
| Oct 16, 2014 at 17:12 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | As far as I'm concerned it is the quality of both the question and its answers that should determine which gets closed. Just because you asked first doesn't mean you asked better, and personally I favour quality over "first past the post" for who wins. A lot of old questions fester and die and we get new more knowledgeable community members who provide better answers. I'd much rather we closed the low quality questions and answers than the high quality ones. | |
