I pick things of interest I find in my feed reader. Sometimes I find old stuff, touched by UID -1. Goals I set for myself when participating: - be as efficient as possible in spending time (I admit, I fail) - avoid repetitiveness - correct popular but non-ideal workarounds with proper solutions (kind of contrary to 1+2) ## What (ideal) results are expected from different review queues? While the review queues in their current form and granularity have a learning effect for a reviewer to gather knowledge across the board, jumping from topic to topic is not very efficient for consolidating questions and answers. Trying to improve what currently exists by filtering new information out of poorly worded questions, understanding different points of view that seem to be related to the same root cause and providing the asker with straight solutions without being repetitive can be very frustrating on some topics. My previous experience was that searching error messages and trying to link possible duplicates together felt more fulfilling to me. Knowing that they all went to the close queue, where they get mixed with other items instead of putting them somewhere else for another user or myself to refine the context I tried to construct later… well it felt like something was missing. Skipping items feels like nobody will ever do them to me, so looking a bit closer at an item and then skipping it feels like wasted effort, while researching those items even more can be very time consuming and frustrating. ## My observation Too many users follow unverified or unrelated gossip instructions on Youtube or elsewhere without backups. Only when it's too late they come here and expect quality support, though they didn't spend any effort in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that asking naive questions and answering them is beneficial to the site or the community, it's the mixture of several different unrelated issues into one, low effort and lack of efficient tools to turn this into something useful for everyone that is so frustrating. Or may be I got something wrong here.
