Guide to moderating Network Engineering yourself: Close Voting

Last month, we crossed a big site milestone: 5000 visitors/day. In case you haven't noticed, that came with a non-trivial increase in questions (they increased by almost 50% since a few months ago). However, many of these questions are too broad or not on-topic. In other words, those questions are ripe for closure.

Network Engineering needs your help.

But perhaps you have some questions...

  • Why do we close questions?
  • Is closing a question the same as deleting it?
  • Who can vote to close a question?
  • Can anyone vote to close/reopen?
  • How are moderators different?
  • Can I moderate the site?
  • How do I vote to close?
  • How do I vote to reopen?
  • I changed my mind about close voting. Can I retract my vote?
  • This question should not be closed. What can I do?
  • Should I worry about retribution if I vote to close?
  • How can I find other questions that might need to be closed?
