@amWhy Now I have understood. Using your numbers means? I mean what type of number?. Suppose if I guessed it,then what type of number should i have to show the moderator/or users
 
@jasmine Just look at a calendar, and guess (none of us can know for sure) what seems the day you think we, as I site, reach 1,500,000 questions, as seen on the front page. But we are waiting until early December, before people can announce their guess. As I've said, this is for fun. There is really no risk in guessing. No one is expected, as no one can know for sure when we first see 1500000 on the first page; it depends on the number of questions posted.
Month and day in the month. E.g., December 29, or January 2, etc.,

okay@amWhy I will try my best to guess it.let's see
 
@jasmine :-)

Pathetic PSQ on the HNQ...
 
6:26 AM
@amWhy @Peter @ParclyTaxel: This bogus answer is getting (pity?)-upvotes despite the very clear comments from Arturo explaining why it is bogus.

@amWhy Thanks!

I want to ask about the close vote queue. Is it always like that, that there are a lot of posts to be voted whether it should be closed or not?
Right now, I see 672 posts to be voted.

@user21820 Not the only bugus answer to this post
One of them is open for deletion

@Peter Are you talking about DavidZ's post, in which he has the quite unambiguously wrong statement "when you start out with x^2+x+1=0 in the beginning, you don't know that x is a value which satisfies x^2+x+1=0."? But I don't see your delete-vote.
 
@user21820 That is what I meant. And in fact, I forgot the delete-vote.
 
Ok thanks for confirming.
 
12:46 PM
@soupless That queue rises from midterm fall, through exams; ditto midterm spring to finals.
 
1:02 PM
@soupless I do not use my 20 votes every day, but relatively often. But we would need , I guess , 10 users doing this quite often to be able to deal with the queue. Not all questions actually belong into this queue and I surprisingly often have about 3-5 posts where I vote "leave open" or, even more often, I "skip".

Can we consider the number of posts to be voted, a lot?
 
As per Peter's request, this wrong answer still needs one more delete-vote. Quickly, before it gets upvoted by people who blindly upvote based on post length.
 
What is the proper close-vote reason for this ? Or is it on-topic as a reference-request ?
 
@Peter I would pick "Lacking context" as irrelevant to Math SE.
 
2:17 PM
@user21820 It is already closed :)
and now self-deleted.
Is $10^{28}$ really the new record ? I am only aware of $10^{27}$ ...
this should be a duplicate. Can someone search for a suitable target ?
 
@Peter This maybe
 
@islamm Thank you. I used this for the close-vote.
 
@Peter this is better
 
2:32 PM
@islamm You can suggest this version, if you want.
 
2:43 PM
@islamm marked as duplicate with both versions.
 
C ?

@Peter Likely far more than that; as we are all simultaneously and actively adding more posts with close votes,
 
4:51 PM
.... @Peter, I meant, we need far more reviewers to make a significant dent. And I seriously have qualms of moderators knocking of 70 - 100 or more in one sitting. I'd like them to participate in reviewing posts, but limit themselves to 20 posts per day, like users are limited. The thing is, mods focus on anything wrong a reviewer has done, not on their enormous impact devoted reviewers and janitors have. Taking users for granted is not a smart thing for any mod team, or specific mod.
This has been demonstrated in 10 days one one user's taking a break from reviewing the close queue. There is something to be said of establishing a users' union, so one one is so regularly attacked and minimized, by other users and/or site moderators.
Actually, as it were, there are two users not bothering with the close queue, one of who has abandoned all reviewing and all janitorial work. Mods can't afford to ignore nor make light of the thankless work some of us have done, and expecting, not appreciating, the time we volunteer to this site, far more time than any moderator spends in any given week. So mods are going to need to get even busier, and consistent, devoting time to twenty, and no more, reviews per day in any one review queue
 
@amWhy I was going to ask about the close votes queue on the Moderator question collection. Something like "What can you do to significantly reduce the number of pending posts?".
 
5:08 PM
@soupless It's a difficult situation. Mods have to keep in mind that any vote to close a post closes it immediately. So when they try to help reduce it in a binge, they typically look for posts with at least three close votes, ideally four, so they are not unilaterally closing questions. But I think a few of them could review 20 reviews, twice per week, using the same strategy, say 26 weeks of the year. With soon to be 10 mods, that alone, wrt the close queue,
which would amount to 5200 EXTRA close queue reviews per year, particularly effective.
Right now, the most loyal and consistent close queue reviewers, individually, easily surpass that number of reviews per year. But, are regularly minimized by users and mods.
At least as a mod, they get extra powers and privileges; they get flak, but users from CURED, and users that help keep this site usable get a hell of a lot of flak, both from users and mods. No privileges though; so special colored star by their user name, etc.

@islamm Nice work, on both finds!
@islamm Closed 20K Open for deletion. Though, with no answer it may get Roomba'd.
@islamm This has been closed, too!
 
6:19 PM
DEL incorrect answer which author has not corrected even though the error has been pointed out twice.
 
6:36 PM
@BillDubuque Gone!
 
6:47 PM
DEL dupe of ubiquitous FAQ with nothing novel. Thanks @amwhy @JoséCarlosSantos

If you haven't checked, D2-D12 here still need some delete votes. Thanks.
 
10:17 PM
@ArcticChar Those you saw with 1 delete vote all now have 2. Those with 2 delete votes, while going through them, are all posts I already voted to delete. Only one for delete vote apiece is needed.
