| Apr 18, 2016 at 19:47 | comment | added | Graham Chiu | That referenced answer might apply to a site in full production, but this site is still in beta, and attracting a low question rate, with many poorly worded questions. I'm curious as to how many questions that are put on hold are actually released due to edits by voters. | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 19:32 | comment | added | Susan Mod | I agree that editing may be the ideal way to go in many cases, but given that not everybody with voting powers feels like fixing up every crummy question they run across, I would much rather people vote to close off-topic or otherwise unacceptable questions immediately rather than do nothing. We can always re-open. | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 19:09 | comment | added | Graham Chiu | @susan I don't feel strongly about any question. I am just noting that almost any question can be generalised to be made on topic, and clearly a lot of questioners lack the skills to do so. Editing the questions is a better option then just voting to close. | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 15:23 | comment | added | JohnP Mod | Questions either get put on or taken off of hold when 1 of 2 things happen: 5 people agree and vote to either close or reopen, or a moderator takes action. If you edit and nominate and it doesn't receive much attention, please flag as @Susan suggests. The flagging system helps, as it saves the moderators from having to review every question every day. | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 12:28 | comment | added | Susan Mod | As for the inconsistency of the larger process of generalizing questions, that may be the nature of a community where nobody is obligated to participate at any specific level beyond what interests them, but it doesn't hurt to encourage people to be helpful (as I take to be the point of this Meta Q -- +1)! | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 12:27 | comment | added | Susan Mod | I just approved that edit and re-opened the question. Feel free to flag for a mod to do this if you feel strongly about a question and have taken energy to improve it. In this case it would have been a two-step process for the community, and the expediency with which such things are completed is, well... inconsistent. | |
