| Apr 19, 2012 at 15:44 | comment | added | dunxd | That is a really interesting analysis. I had kind of suspected that there was a pretty small cadre of people casting most of the close votes. There is even a chat room in which they can hang out and plot where to strike next... It would be interesting to see a similar analysis of who votes up questions - I've seen it commented frequently here that unlike other SO sites, hardly anyone votes questions up on Server Fault. I would be comforted to find that the few who vote up good questions had a strong correlation with those who vote to close most. | |

| Jul 17, 2011 at 15:03 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @Iain Mod-hammering tends to happen after users flag votes in lieu of close-voting. Sometimes questions get flags w/o close votes which is where some no-vote-closes happen. Othertimes, we run across 'em naturally. Sometimes a 3K+ user will get impatient and will both close-vote and flag, but this is happily rare. | |

| Jul 17, 2011 at 9:51 | comment | added | user9517 | 3K rep is required to vote to close. We have 178 out of 60K people who can vote to close. Only 36 of the 178 can see the 10K page. In the last week 42 (including mods) used a vote on 55 questions. Mods tend to react to other votes and close before the 5 required is reached but they closed 8 without prompting. So we had 35 non mods vote on 47 questions. We need to increase the visibility of questions that need closing. We need to get more people who can vote and we need to get them to do so. | |
| Jul 17, 2011 at 5:17 | comment | added | womble Mod | "5 votes to close aren't hard to come by" -- that hasn't been my experience. There's plenty of dross that floats around in the "voted to close" section of the 10k tools that never gets to 5. | |
| Jul 17, 2011 at 4:32 | comment | added | Kara Marfia Mod | It seems that 5 votes to close aren't hard to come by for the majority of the bad & misplaced questions. Sometimes it's just a matter of me, as a user, needing to filter well enough to see what I'm interested in & cull the rest. Maybe you want to filter out the "low quality rating" questions? (Not sure whether that's possible?) | |
| Jul 17, 2011 at 4:11 | comment | added | womble Mod | I get your point, and I'm thankful for the links you provided (Kyle Brandt's post in "Perception of Purpose" is a nice answer towards my question). I'm not sure what you're referring to by "proposed wording" -- I'm not looking to change the FAQ or anything, just trying to provide a couple of different ideas about what Server Fault might mean, and seeing which one more people agree with. | |
