| May 19, 2014 at 16:23 | comment | added | Oli Mod | @Braiam I'm not denying that similar questions very occasionally get asked I'm saying their level is well below what could ever be considered a problem and that their existence doesn't neccessarily correlate with existing questions. If anything somebody seeing one of these questions should see the ~200px banners that explicitly tell them they're not great question styles to use. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 16:19 | comment | added | Braiam | @Oli if we are doing our work right, obviously I will not find them, you can. Asking me to haunt ghosts without ways to accomplish the task is too far fetched. The fact that those questions are still asked is enough for me to see a problem, denying that it isn't is not the right solution. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:54 | comment | added | Oli Mod | @Braiam You're citing the broken window issue... Where is this flood of copycat questions? What comes in gets dealt with in seconds. You're blaming the wrong things. | |

| May 19, 2014 at 15:48 | comment | added | terdon | @Braiam prove your points. Where are the hundreds of questions asked that request lists? Where are the whiny meta posts "Whah! Why was my Q closed? It's just like this super upvoted one!"? Where are the comments where the OP uses these questions as an excuse? You're the one who thinks they are a problem., the onus is on you to provide us with evidence supporting your claim. When people post non-Ubuntu questions, we close them. When people post list questions we close them. What's the difference? | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:42 | comment | added | Braiam | Abounding about my previous comments, hordes people see these question (check the views), see those ridiculous upvoted posts and think "hey, this is what this site is about". Moderating them (the users) becomes a hassle, since there are people that wants to add their own list to the list (I've seen 9 more attempts of big list in the last month). I see a problem with this, and I blame those questions. Now, what is the reason of the low quality questions/answers in the site? | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:38 | comment | added | Oli Mod | Old questions aren't stopping people answering new ones. That's one of the more ludicrous claims I've seen to date on this. | |

| May 19, 2014 at 15:25 | comment | added | Braiam | My proposal is a sane and sensible solution to this. Unless you have other argument that isn't "not our problem" I don't see how this could be constructive. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:21 | comment | added | Braiam | That you don't want to recognize that it's a problem is a problem in and on itself. You know why people can't answer new questions that hits us on daily basis? Because they either are crap or are swimming around crap. That is a problem, and the solution is heavy moderation in both ways. Old and new questions. If you don't want to solve the old, just focus on the new and let people that want to get the old fixed figure this out. | |
