| Oct 16, 2013 at 10:19 | comment | added | einpoklum | It is a very bad thing. Such a moderator is causing discrimination against the user - effectively, a different standard is applied to him/her than to others. Skewed, partial application of a judicial/evaluative process is recognized as a gross abrogation of individuals' rights. | |
| Oct 12, 2013 at 7:04 | comment | added | the-wabbit | @voretaq7 this is what I would consider a problem inherent to the current review system. While it certainly needs to be fixed, the workaround would not be to tell people off for casting the first vote. | |
| Oct 12, 2013 at 3:19 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @syneticon-dj The potential problem that arises is "pile-on voting" - much like with downvotes, a question that has 2+ close votes attracts more, sometimes regardless of the question's actual quality. There's no problem with closing bad questions, but if a substantial number of good questions get caught up in the frenzy it's bad for both the user (mixed message / harassment) and the site (good questions are closed) | |
| Oct 11, 2013 at 23:49 | comment | added | the-wabbit | @Ward I fail to see how this might present a problem which would be going beyond the inherent shortcomings of the review system and question closures. A single close vote will not have immediate negative impact on a question. Moreover, questions with accepted answers tend to only rarely attract additional answers, so there can't be much harm in getting them closed. The only potential source of trouble seems to be the chance of a question ban for the asker, but as the algorithm for this process is opaque, I would not start discussing the consequences before we really see such a case. | |
