| Dec 1, 2020 at 3:49 | comment | added | Cody Gray Mod | It is to be expected that a higher percentage of the questions that pass through SOCVR get closed. The reason is a simple, non-conspiratorial one: the bar for entry is higher, so the questions that get posted in SOCVR as being in need of closure are far more likely to be true positives. It's a lot easier to just cast a close vote/flag on a question. It's harder to open up a link to the chat room, paste in a question, write out a reason, follow the chat rules, etc. You don't do it unless you're quite certain that the question does need to be closed. | |

| Nov 30, 2020 at 14:34 | comment | added | TheMaster | @vlaz I don't disagree that majority of close vote requests posted on SOCVR are valid requests and I agree with closing some of them. But You just can't claim that the end-result matters rarely. A close request is rarely rejected in SOCVR. And SOCVR plays a major part in closing questions by providing increased attention to questions that won't get that attention without it | |
| Nov 30, 2020 at 14:28 | comment | added | VLAZ | @TheMaster I think that's a subtle example of begging the question here. I think what you're trying to put across is that these closures are wrong. Do you have examples of this? Because it's also possible that most questions that are posted in SOCVR should have been closed. | |
| Nov 30, 2020 at 14:25 | comment | added | TheMaster | @VLAZ I think it matters a lot. Compared to the close vote review queue, Questions that go through socvr is almost always closed. | |
| Nov 30, 2020 at 14:22 | comment | added | VLAZ | Ultimately SOCVR is upholding the site rules. A question that should be closed might or might not pass through the chat room. It's really irrelevant - the chat room isn't there to close questions that should stay open. So, a closure could happen with or without SOCVR's involvement - it rarely matters to the end result. We currently don't inform people that their question went through the close queue, either - I don't think SOCVR is much different. | |
