| Sep 12, 2021 at 8:12 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | @terdon: Both question and answer are about unpinning obsolete answers from the top of the list. I am advocating sorting answers by value rather points or acceptance. I think acceptance should be at the top at least until it becomes obsolete. | |
| Sep 11, 2021 at 18:22 | comment | added | Random Person | @terdon I don't think this is an unrelated question. Also, please check these links: meta.askubuntu.com/a/19732 and meta.askubuntu.com/posts/comments/42909 | |
| Sep 11, 2021 at 12:02 | comment | added | terdon | This seems like a very good idea, but posting it here, as an answer to an unrelated question makes it sure to be ignored. This isn't something that can be done by the AU community, it would require SE developers to add new functionality, so this really should be posted as a feature request on Meta Stack Exchange where it can get the attention it deserves. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 18:07 | comment | added | Random Person | @BeastOfCaerbannog I guess this will only be a problem for the first few months when this new flag gets launched (if it gets launched). I guess a new review queue named Obsolete Answers would be created. Once the review queue gets cleared, then new posts will be rarely added in the queue as answers don't become obsolete so soon. But anyway, I am just assuming things, so I could be 100% wrong. [Let's assume that the 14-day invalidation rule doesn't exist for this review queue😅.] | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 15:10 | comment | added | BeastOfCaerbannog | This is an excellent point and is a +1 by me. A drawback, however, is that this would introduce another queue in the review queues, and I don't think that we currently have the number of active reviewers needed for this. I would like to make clear that I'm not against this suggestion, I'm just mentioning a potential problem. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 4:58 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | +1, although this isn't on the table in this particular round of changes, it's good to keep it on the radar - also it's relevant to NotTheDr01ds' argument' - I'll be sure to mention it when I post feedback from our site on Nicholas' post. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 4:33 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | "Closing a duplicate question and then linking an old question with 20 obsolete answers wastes the users time and does not give users much confidence in Ask Ubuntu." -- Hear, hear! And this applies to all of Stack Exchange. | |
