| Jul 25, 2014 at 13:29 | comment | added | bain | There are some mistaken duplicates, but imho the larger issue here is that the vast majority of questions asked here are either duplicates or bugs. The current process does not do a good job of guiding the user to resolve their issue with the existing questions and answers, or with a bug report, but instead tells them to create a new question. Most users do not appear to be searching, or finding, the existing answers, perhaps because AskUbuntu is being seen more as "tech support" than a canonical question/answer database. | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 12:06 | comment | added | Braiam | @EliahKagan what I'm asking to users is to not waste reviewers time reviewing questions that should just be deleted, because they are very crappy, or really, more importantly, don't merit being closed. That is the propose of my counsel and, as you've seen by my examples, is common. | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 8:38 | comment | added | Warren Hill | @Braiam - I voted to close a question today as primarily opinion based. The question was closed as a Duplicate but my name was listed as one of the people closing the question. I'm not saying I didn't vote to close the question you are referring to above as I duplicate. Clearly if I did I made a mistake as the question states that the duplicate does not work. I'm only saying that the reason given can be misleading. | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 1:08 | comment | added | Luis Alvarado Mod | @Braiam Please let me know which questions you found are flagged wrong. I might be almost blind right now reading through so many but if a wrong question was flagged it is my job to fix it even if it was me making the mistake. Thanks buddy. | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 0:00 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | You have proposed something you think will address the problem raised in this meta question. I have posted a thoughtful, reasonable comment disagreeing with the advisability of something you have proposed. That is fully on topic, and quite obviously so. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 23:45 | comment | added | Braiam | Ah, btw, I'm not even talking about "review faster" I'm talking about "review better". Reviewers time is precious, we shouldn't bother them with poor duplicates that should be just deleted. Now, if you have other idea of how people can encourage me to review, go ahead. I'm sure nothing will be make me more pleased. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 23:42 | comment | added | Braiam | @EliahKagan Could we keep on topic here? The fact that I do not review anymore is because it waste my time to review and, I assure you, everyone else, that I would prefer doing something more productive like answering question. That is my reason why, despite the fact that I have dedicated days to the review queue, I'm not doing such anymore, which is the topic of this discussion. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 23:37 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | Making close reviewing faster is not more important than other considerations in deciding how to close questions. When closing as a duplicate or another close reason are both applicable, closing as a duplicate is often (not always) the better choice. Of all the arguments I've ever heard that we should supposedly avoid closing bad questions as duplicates, this is by far the weakest. Helping people review faster is not a good reason, nor even an acceptable reason, to choose one close reason over another. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 22:45 | comment | added | Braiam | @hbdgaf the problem is that they are wasting reviewers time doing this. They could archive the same just telling OP to read a question and see if it helps, and then wait for feedback in the case of vague, unclear questions. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 22:29 | comment | added | RobotHumans | On most of these I agree, but on "Y U USING DUMPING GROUNDS!?!?!?" I think they have a purpose. Funnel everything to a possible solution instead of funneling them to this: 3.bp.blogspot.com/_1zzWO0zKm80/TIVkWfjCuRI/AAAAAAAAAGc/… | |
