| Aug 22, 2015 at 15:49 | comment | added | Teun Vink Mod | I can only second what YLearn is saying here. I often skip votes when I'm in doubt if the question is really off topic and wait until at least a few more votes have been cast, especially because I'm aware of the weight of my vote. | |

Since closing a post takes 5 close votes, even though the other 8 are fairly active, it can take days before a vote gets closed without a mod vote. As moderators, we have a responsibility to the community to help maintain the community and as such we should be taking action. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 18:41 | comment | added | YLearn Mod | @Eddie, I want to respond to the "Mods to not be -so- quick with the closing of questions" statement. We aren't actually that quick to close questions. Keep in mind that with the higher privilege levels post-graduation, we now only have 10 non-mod users with close vote privileges. Users without the close vote privilege can still raise flags recommending closure. So while a post may appear to only have a single mod close vote, there may be one or more recommended closure flags as well. I seldom close questions before someone else has either cast a close vote or flagged it. | |

But not every question we close that might get a great answer ends up getting re-asked on another site. Besides, whats to keep us from moving the question after it has received an answer? | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 0:58 | comment | added | Brett Lykins | Many of those questions however, belong on other sites on the network. A rock-star answer to a home-networking question, should still be over on SuperUser for example. Why fluff our stats with questions that are not on-topic? | |
