Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Sep 16, 2013 at 16:46 comment added user9517 @OC2PS: I suspect that the numbers would be higher if we had more people who voted to close. As it is we have <300 and <50 of them use the privilege with any regularity.
Sep 13, 2013 at 11:43 comment added OC2PS Much, much more importantly, 32% of registered questions being bad is a real slam. Perhaps we are too rigid in closing/deleting questions? Or maybe we don't clarify our guidelines prominently enough? (we ARE pretty different from other SE sites)
Sep 13, 2013 at 11:38 comment added OC2PS Another perspective: If only 448 questions (6%) and 379 answers (5%) have come from unregistered users, then why keep the unregistered route at all? It is pretty clear that registration is not a big barrier to entry in this case. Normally, guest posting, guest reviews and guest checkout etc are used so as to not turn away large proportions of participants (often bigger proportions than registered folks) but in case of SF, that's clearly not the case - most people register anyway.
Sep 13, 2013 at 7:29 comment added user9517 The majority of people who ask questions on SF have accounts on SO so the results below aren't surprising as SO users have to be registered and we know from revious experience they ask crappy questions too.

Sep 13, 2013 at 5:09 comment added Michael Hampton Mod I'm still thinking about it. The stats are... definitely not quite what I expected.
Sep 13, 2013 at 5:08 comment added Mark Henderson Mod Now that we have the stats, how do you intend on using them? Is it based on volume of bad questions, or the percentage? 256 bad questions in 2 months isn't so bad compared to 2,181 bad questions from registered users. That's (at a very rough estimate) about 1/5th of bad questions are from unregistered users. And then what about the 43% that weren't bad questions?
