What do you think about setting up something like [the Stack Overflow Close Vote Reviewers chat room (SOCVR)][1]? 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: - http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/13629/clearing-out-the-close-review-queue-2015 - http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/8603/do-we-need-a-event-to-clear-out-the-close-queue - http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/7929/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][2], but inactive (and lacking publicity).
