there are many objective questions wrt mods, but it would seem that mods with all their dedication can get overly emotional/ subjective without realizing it just like all humans...

my question....

> what are better/ more proactive ways of improving site quality/ engagement other than constantly/ endlessly closing perceived low-quality questions.... (aka whack-a-mole)

another issue...

> how can the se community blogs engagement be improved? are there effective incentives that can be offered eg rep points? what is se's vision/ intention/ support wrt community blogging? or was this a half-executed idea by a departed executive or co-ceo?
