and i was getting a nice friendly response ready

@ToshinouKyouko We tried

Toshinou Kyouko

Don't worry, I am the ultimate friend

Matt

But, I think we all had to draw a line at this point

Frosteeze

I have a feeling this person may have done some illicit activity to obtain these cels

lol imagine if some news show up that a collection of animation cels have been stolen

Toshinou Kyouko

20:11

possibly reselling maybe

Matt

@Frosteeze "Has any1 seen this woman? I saw her steeling some anime cells when I was a kid. Pls help!!!!!!!!" identification-request

Eric

That seems more likely. Obtain them from Japanese collectors and resell them as foreign works.

Toshinou Kyouko

probably got a box for cheap and is reselling them

Eric

Yeah

Toshinou Kyouko

i cant think of any other jobs involving cels

Frosteeze

20:16

i'd think if that was the case she could contact the collector or the seller for more info instead of asking strangers

Eric

Involving identifying them, anyway.

A: Where else can I go for Identification help?

Firstly I'd like to say that that's an interesting job and I'm jealous. But to the main point (most of which has been detailed in the comments by other users); 127 cels is a lot of questions. If you're experiencing blocks it's because the site has rate-limiting enabled. This is basically to ens...

Eric

@Frosteeze If you're a terrorist group that distributes this kind of anime drawing via wireless network, are you a cell selling cels by cell?

I've already expended more than enough effort on this :P

I've downvoted two of this user's questions, so they are now blocked for the next 7 days

@ToshinouKyouko That block you pointed them to is not enabled here

@Eric The "Users limited from asking questions for 1 - 7 days based on the performance of their previous questions" part applies to us

Toshinou Kyouko

it's still useful information

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko Yes, indeed.

ah cool, thank you

Eric

@JNat Yeah partly, but the 50/month and 6/day don't. Which is.... weird.

JNat

Nevertheless:

Don't forget to vote, people

Also, shouldn't all of these questions be closed?

None of them fit the guidelines, do they?

Toshinou Kyouko

@JNat image-only questions are still allowed are they not?

Eric

That's true. We require an additional piece of information with an image, right?

JNat

20:45

Image-only were never allowed, IIRC

Toshinou Kyouko

There's so many rules it's hard to keep track

JNat

The previous guidelines suggested something in the lines of visual artifacts counting for two or something

Eric

I think we'd been accepting them if you say where you found the image, and it wasn't easily reverse-searchable.

Toshinou Kyouko

JNat

@Eric In other words, if the OP showed any effort in us helping them?

Which they clearly aren't doing

Toshinou Kyouko

20:46

that's not really an enforceable thing though

JNat

Putting a question on hold means they have the chance to add in anything else that might be of help

Eric

@JNat Pretty much.

Toshinou Kyouko

they can just point to other questions and say "look at these that are still open"

"with no extra info"

Eric

We should have been doing it all along and haven't, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't start.

If we're going to set any baseline of consistency, we need to start somewhere.

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko In which case, we'd either explain why they are open (considering they were rightfully open, and thus the OP would learn something from this), or proceed by closing them

@Eric EXACTLY

We've been, since day one, saying: "Oh, and then they'll point to older ones that haven't been closed"

Instead of closing the older ones too, we've been letting that keep us from closing the new ones

Toshinou Kyouko

20:48

It's not just older ones though

This would be solved in my view if we added a clause like 'a minimum effort to describe your query must be reached or deemed underdefined'

otherwise it's just us mysterious A&M people who know all the rules in their heads

Eric

We have it on a meta post.

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko This is written somewhere out there

But it does not explain why this user's 10 questions were all left open

Toshinou Kyouko

there's "the description provided is deemed to be too ambiguous" but that's not really the same thing

A: What criteria should we use for QCing for ALL "identification-request" questions?

Taking cues from sites like TV & Movies.SE, Sci-Fi.SE, and Arqade, I've come up with the following guidelines: An identification-request should have as many of the following points as possible: Any description of the leading/recurring character(s) (i.e. physical description, behavior,...

> If the question have less than three (two for questions that include image(s), audio, and/or video(s)) of the the above mentioned criteria, or if the description provided is deemed to be too ambiguous, it will be put on hold ...

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko IIRC, the close reason links to the post Eric just linked to

Eric

20:52

It would be nice if we had a post for just image ID requests that was very clear on the rules, but at the very least they are written down.

Toshinou Kyouko

okay, so it is indeed there

JNat

> This identification request contains too little detail to be answered. Please refer to these guidelines for writing good identification requests and add more details to your question.

Toshinou Kyouko

i agree about the meta post, it's kind of 'fine print'

and isn't enforced consistently

anyway

lets close these

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko This is the main problem

Especially in cases like these

Toshinou Kyouko

anime.stackexchange.com/questions/23625/… like this question

there are definetly other questions open that just describe the image

Taisho

20:55

JNat

Instead of what would happen if we has closed these questions one at a time as they came in, this user is now going to fail to understand why the questions are being closed, and feel like they're being singled out — they'll feel we're taking action against them, and not against their questions

@Eric I think there's something just on image id-reqs somewhere out there

Toshinou Kyouko

we can at least close the most unspecified

hmm

JNat

I just wonder why @ʞɹɐzǝɹ let this slip, since he wrote a post that mentioned this user, and he usually is fast on the trigger in closing and deleting these

Toshinou Kyouko

I will just leave it in your hands as it is bedtime for me

Q: What kind of policy should we adopt for current and future "identification-request" questions with no audiovisual artefacts?

Lately the quality of some identification-request questions. with no sort of audio-visual artefacts (e.g. an image, video, or sound clip), have been very lacking in quality. I believe it's time we set some minimum requirements for such questions. We can look at how other SE sites like SciFi and ...

Q: Should we close Image-only Identification requests?
