| Jul 4, 2021 at 20:10 | comment | added | VE7JRO | Once you are elected as a moderator (arduino.stackexchange.com/election), the 3 or 5 vote issue will disappear. We still need the 3 vote to close to be implemented. | |

| May 17, 2020 at 19:47 | comment | added | VE7JRO Mod | @Juraj - Yup, I read that a few days ago. There is nothing more I can do until a SE employee makes this change happen. | |

| Mar 16, 2020 at 16:05 | history | edited | VE7JROMod | Added status-review tag. | |
| Mar 13, 2020 at 14:39 | comment | added | Juraj Mod | yes, yes, that is why I deleted the comment about new question only. we only want this one simple thing | |
| Mar 13, 2020 at 14:25 | comment | added | VE7JRO Mod | @Juraj - Have a look at the "older questions" section of this document: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/345032/…. Changing the VTC from 5 to 3 sounds like a "Community-specific concern" to me. | |
| Mar 12, 2020 at 21:47 | comment | added | VE7JRO Mod | @Juraj - I was just about to add a comment with the very same link :) On March 16th, I'll add that tag to this meta post and we'll see what happens. There have been a lot of "changes" at SE lately, so I know they have been very busy. Thanks for your patience. | |

| Feb 4, 2020 at 21:38 | comment | added | Thomas Weller | @VE7JRO: I doubt it would be abused. Flagging is possible with 15 rep, which is indeed low. Unfortunately, new users won't know that this option exists and it's the right way to go. In other forums (non-SE), flagging is mostly considered as a harmful action like removing the post due to copyright violation, violence or similar. | |
| Feb 4, 2020 at 21:32 | comment | added | VE7JRO Mod | @ThomasWeller - There is a possibility that 3 users could join forces to abuse this new privilege (if we are approved for it). A simple flag for moderator attention by any user is all that's required to start an investigation (I sure hope users with 1 rep can flag a post). Whether 5 or 3 people voted to close a question, a single moderator vote can reopen it at any time. | |
| Feb 4, 2020 at 21:32 | comment | added | VE7JRO Mod | @ThomasWeller - I agree. And out of the 177, very few of those users "get involved". There may be 20 regular users who participate in these "maintenance" tasks. IMHO, giving the community the ability to close questions at 3 votes, rather than 5 votes, gives them more control, not less. I am in favour of this proposed change. | |
| Feb 4, 2020 at 20:54 | comment | added | Thomas Weller | I think the community here is still quite small with only 177 users having 500+ reputation so they are able to cast close votes. How many questions are in the queues? Is it too much for moderators to get involved? | |

| Jan 14, 2020 at 6:10 | comment | added | Juraj Mod | the strcpy question is extremely common. the OP didn't try to google it | |
| Jan 14, 2020 at 6:08 | comment | added | Juraj Mod | @VE7JRO, the "Arduino uno wifi rev2 stuck inside loop." needs guidance, not solving. the OP asked more questions with the same sketch. some of them have accepted answers | |
| Jan 13, 2020 at 19:24 | history | edited | VE7JROMod | Added the "featured" tag. | |

| Jan 13, 2020 at 15:35 | comment | added | Juraj Mod | @VE7JRO here are 4 close votes arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/71686/… | |
| Jan 13, 2020 at 15:21 | comment | added | VE7JRO Mod | @Juraj - The "test" I'm told started in January, and we should hear something after the end of the month. If we haven't heard anything by the middle of February, I will contact SO. This is a feature we really need. Most people are unaware that votes to close "age away" after 5 days. Let's say we get 4 VTC on a question, a week goes by, and voila, there are 0 VTC. This aging away of votes is OK for a busy network like EE, but for us it doesn't work very well. | |

| Dec 8, 2019 at 19:04 | comment | added | VE7JRO Mod | @st2000 - Every "On Hold" and "Closed" post always gave "feed back to the original poster". The wording of the reasons for on hold / closure has recently changed, and the background color changed from yellow to blue stackoverflow.blog/2019/12/05/… I believe comments are still active when a question is put on hold, and can be transferred to chat for an extended conversation. Comments / chat can be used to clarify the exact nature of the issue(s) with the question. A person voting to close can leave a comment if they choose. | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 18:25 | comment | added | st2000 | I like the improvements in the linked-to stackoverflow blog. I did not see where it addresses situations where people vote to close questions with no feed back to the original poster. While I don't think it is fair to demand feed back, I do think rewarding it is fair game. | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 10:23 | comment | added | Juraj Mod | @st2000, there are never 5 close votes here on Arduino SE. usually moderator must help to close the garbage questions | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 6:08 | comment | added | Juraj Mod | @st2000, Stack Exchange changed the 'notices' about closing reason stackoverflow.blog/2019/12/05/… | |
| Dec 7, 2019 at 19:38 | comment | added | st2000 | There are a lot of 1st time posters who may take getting their question closed the wrong way and just leave for good. I would be in favor of reducing the number of votes but only if the votes were accompanied by a (good) posted comment against the question voted to be closed. If possible, I would even favor weighting the close votes. Close votes with no attached comment = 1/5 votes needed to close. Close votes with an attached comment = 1/3 votes needed to close. | |
