Dec 8, 2016 at 13:18 comment added Nathan Merrill Right, none of these issue are impossible to overcome. However, the list of disadvantages: (appears in the list of current questions, must have rep to access to review queue, no HNQ even for most good questions, mods need to remove comments). Are the advantages that much better that they outweigh the disadvantages?
Dec 8, 2016 at 5:15 comment added user45941 @NathanMerrill Removing comments isn't hard, and not having a presence on HNQ wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. We get a lot of drive-by upvotes on not-great challenges because of HNQ.
Dec 3, 2016 at 10:26 comment added Nathan Merrill But then we'd also want to remove all comments when the on hold status is removed (and our HNQ presence would be non existent). While this solution may be simpler than others to implement, it seems far worse than our current sandbox solution
Dec 3, 2016 at 6:23 comment added user45941 @NathanMerrill A custom close reason would let you know it was on-hold for sandboxing, and a review queue would make them easily visible.
Dec 2, 2016 at 22:05 comment added Nathan Merrill Edits are much less frequent than normal question activity, especially because we prefer questions to be sandboxed for a couple of days. Furthermore, even if it is on the active list, I'd have to look for on-hold questions, and hope that they are on-hold for sandboxing (and not actually on hold)
Dec 2, 2016 at 22:02 comment added user45941 @NathanMerrill Not true at all. Edits to closed questions still bump them to the top of the active questions list. Reopening a closed question does the same.
Dec 2, 2016 at 22:00 comment added Nathan Merrill I'm not a fan of this. I'd much prefer a separate location to find in-development questions to help improve. Questions that are still being worked on would get lost in the activity list.
