| Mar 2, 2014 at 18:37 | comment | added | Mr. Alien | @RichardLeMesurier Than it's what I said Blind Voting, don't vote if you are not aware of that field, thus I suggested that relevant tag posts should be shown in the review que, also, I specified that we can increase the reputation limit of casting votes ... | |
| Mar 1, 2014 at 11:39 | comment | added | Richard Le Mesurier | That seems dangerous to allow 3 votes to close. At least on Android we have a lot of really good, valid questions being close-voted by C# ppl and other "experts". I do not believe that helps the community, for someone with little knowledge of an area to be given so much power to decide what is a good question. Dropping to 3 means the close queue goes down, but not really for the right reasons. | |
| Mar 1, 2014 at 10:20 | comment | added | Harry Johnston | The important point as applies to this meta-question is that people (me for one) are voting questions of that sort as "general computing hardware and software" not because someone else already voted that way, but because we think that's the right vote. We might be wrong, but we're not just following the leader. | |
| Mar 1, 2014 at 10:18 | comment | added | Harry Johnston | I don't think it's sensible for people on Stack Overflow to be trying to decide whether a question is appropriate for another forum or not. Now that close votes no longer cause automatic migration, I think closing as off-topic is appropriate, even if the same question might nonetheless have been closed for another reason if it had been posted in the correct forum. Note that the description just says "may be able to get help on super user", it isn't a promise. :-) But perhaps this should be more broadly discussed as a separate meta-question? | |
| Mar 1, 2014 at 4:06 | comment | added | Mr. Alien | @HarryJohnston no, what I meant was even questions which are not fit for superuser are sometimes closed as, the question should be asked on super user, in the example, which was real infact, because I read the question few days back, op asked two games aren't supported, it should be closed as totally off topic, was not meant to be asked on superuser as well, but because one user closed with that reason, other users will see the blue count icon and will go ahead and close with the same reason without really thinking that its not meant for superuser as well | |
| Mar 1, 2014 at 1:14 | comment | added | Harry Johnston | I don't understand your example. The question you posted should be closed as "general computing hardware and software" so what makes you think that people closing it that way are doing so blindly? | |
| Feb 28, 2014 at 17:54 | comment | added | Mr. Alien | @sᴜʀᴇsʜᴀᴛᴛᴀ No one said 1 close vote, won't make sense, that's why we have mods... | |
| Feb 28, 2014 at 17:53 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | Now if it was 3 reviews that all siad close, with no reviews saying "leave open" | |

After implementation of your suggestion which is 3 close votes suffice, after few days a new idea comes with 1 close vote is suffice where a mad guy can close any question for no reason. Just crazy :)
