Lately, I'm seeing a lot of questions in the review queue which are marked for closure due to being 'too localized', or 'not a real question'. Some of these are marked on the same day they're asked …

Here's a relevant discussion (I'm sure there are others), from meta.stackoverflow: Why Aren't People Voting for Questions? …

Here's a fairly good treatment of the question (and related voting) from the Big Meta (meta.stackoverflow) : When Should I Vote? . It covers the bases pretty well. That being said, I think as lon …
