tried probably counterproductively to make the flag handling conditions more clear

| Jan 13, 2022 at 6:00 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @NotTheDr01ds Yes, the close vote situation remains bad, but I do think that close flags being marked helpful if anyone agrees with them is probably fairer than requiring the question to get closed, although it leads to confusing statistics! Since that question was re-posted on SU, I have closed it with a custom reason. Thanks a lot for your efforts there! | |
| Jan 13, 2022 at 5:53 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | Ironically, even though I couldn't see the votes on the post you mentioned, I did know about the Close vote from someone in Chat. You had just announced your well-deserved three-day break, at the time, if I recall correctly :-). I didn't, on the other hand, know about the "Leave Open", and that's a weird vote on that particular question, since the OP even agreed in the comments that it was a purely Windows related problem. I guess some people don't take time to read the comments when working through the queue. Oh well! :P | |
| Jan 13, 2022 at 5:49 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | Thank you Zanna! That's the tidbit that makes the stats make sense at least. It's entirely feasible that such a large percentage of Close flags results in at least one vote in the queue (either to Close or "Leave Open"), and as a result were "Helpful" or "Declined", and as a result of that, "Handled". At the same time, it's entirely normal for a large number of those to never receive enough votes to make it all the way through the queue before the votes expire. Not an ideal situation, to be sure, (I still agree with your "really bad"), but it at least explains the "Handled" stat. | |
