What do you think about setting up something like the Stack Overflow Close Vote Reviewers chat room (SOCVR)? Aside from a recent surge in first posts, our close vote review queue has always been rather large. Every year or so, we see posts to clean it up:
- Clearing out the close review queue 2015Clearing out the close review queue 2015
- Do we need a event to clear out the Close Queue?Do we need a event to clear out the Close Queue?
- Shall we try and clean the close vote review queue to start the new year?Shall we try and clean the close vote review queue to start the new year?
This has been suggested before, and IIRC, there is such a room, but inactive (and lacking publicity).
While having a room by itself is not the issue, the queue size is. It's been agreed repeatedly over the years that it's a problem and something needs to be done about it. Thoughts?
