Add tag synonym for [tag:wsl]

Automatic Question closing after a set time

Sure we should. As soon as you come up with a surefire way of getting rid of spam, I'm sure SE will implement it (and you'll be set for life). In the meantime, they're doing what they can.

What about simplifying the UI for AskUbuntu?
Call me crazy, but I find this:
