| Jun 5, 2012 at 23:59 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @Miles, "tyranny of (by?) the minority" is quite a serious issue but it's an altogether diferrent one to that being asked here. It's also a side effect of having a somewhat community run site (with occasional dictatorships by Stack Exchange staff). The number of votes needed has been discussed a number of times before, both here and MSO, but it has never changed. I do like the idea of the MSO question you linked to. Now that would provide useful data on which to base a conclusion. I'm also certain it would prevent a significant number of questions being closed or migrated. | |
