I want to also mention an issue I've noticed. The First Questions, First Answers, Late Answers queues have a "Recommend Deletion" option. However, I don't know how this works and if selecting it sends the post to another queue. From what I've noticed, most people that select this option don't take another action, e.g. flag as NAA.
The problem is that posts in these queues need just a single person to take some action. If the posts aren't sent to another queue, they just get a useless "recommend deletion" vote and nothing else.
Maybe, I don't know. But even so, it takes much much longer for the post to be reviewed. I always flag posts, even in the LQP queue and they are handled much faster, usually in less than a couple of hours, by a mod.
Do we need a meta post that suggests that reviewers in the above queues and LQP should also flag an answer if it's NAA, and not only rely in the "recommend deletion"/"deletion" option?
I had to review myself to have any hope of seeing what happened - my review is the only one listed
@BeastOfCaerbannog yeah... it will take 3 users with 20k to delete from that queue at best - if it doesn't acquire enough delete votes, it takes 6 reviewers (I think)
Hello Today I was browsing through all the questions....
I was seening and almost all the questions were answered. So I selected the "unanswered category" of questions.
By default it is selcted to sort by votes (at least in my case). It is ok there I don't see any answered questions and it is wor...
@Zanna I agree that it's not Ubuntu-specific, but it's a generic question and could be useful as a target for similar duplicate questions. I don't think it's bad to have it open, but I also don't think it's bad if it gets closed as not about Ubuntu, since I can't think of an answer that could add anything more to karel's answer. Even so, karel's answer could then be converted to a CW, and further info could be added there.
In any case, the usefulness of it, IMO, is to be used as a dupe target and if closed, closed for the right reason.
@BeastOfCaerbannog I mean, questions don't have to be Ubuntu specific, but I don't think that question is any more about Ubuntu than, say "what's the difference between a grapefruit and a mango?"
Well, the analogy is not exactly the same, as graphics cards are related to computing, whereas fruits are not, but I see your point. If you think that it should be closed, I won't oppose anything to that, as long as it gets closed for the right reason, which "Needs more focus" obviously isn't after the edits.
@BeastOfCaerbannog hmm, looks like since OP corrected the question, they've done a good job of explaining their confusion in the answer... idk if further editing could improve either the question or the answer, but it does seem like other people might benefit from the post
I'm concerned that we won't be able to make the question on topic without making it a lot less clear. But my imagination is limited. If you want to try extending it to make it about Ubuntu then, totally go for it. If it doesn't work out we can just close it instead
Hmm... I failed this audit. The answer in it was supposedly a dupe of this answer, which I agree with. But it wasn't fair. The audit didn't show that there were 3 other answers...
