| Feb 19, 2014 at 20:22 | comment | added | Code Maverick | @BennySkogberg - No, after the 5 close votes, the question gets flagged for moderator attention along with a note stating what site the close vote was choosing to migrate to. Then mods get together and decide whether or not they want to migrate. | |
| Feb 19, 2014 at 20:15 | comment | added | Benny Skogberg | @CodeMaverick ... and if there are five close votes, the question will be migrated?! That's what I'm in doubt of. I don't think it's a community decision to migrate. I think its a mod decision. But if the five close vote don't do anything (like migrate) I think its worth considering. Looks like we're splitting hair here Maverick :-) | |
| Feb 19, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | Code Maverick | @BennySkogberg - I'm not quite sure you are understanding me. I'm not saying the users get to ultimately decide whether or not a question gets to be migrated. The whole point of my feature request is that all the user does is vote to close/migrate a question and that when the question receives enough migrate votes it will flag the question for moderator attention allowing the moderators to decide what to do, if anything. | |
| Feb 19, 2014 at 11:11 | comment | added | JonW Mod | ...but it should probably still be the mod decision as to whether it should be migrated or not. Code Mavericks suggestion is a bit more automated, but still not much different to the current 'flag as 'other' and suggest migration' option. Unfortunately, most of the time when posts are suggested for migration in flags or comments they really don't belong on the suggested site. Especially on UX, most of the users here primarily use UX only, not SO or other sites, so aren't in the best position to suggest a site migration as they're not fully aware of appropriate questions for those sites. | |
| Feb 19, 2014 at 11:09 | comment | added | JonW Mod | I sort of agree with both you and Code Maverick. One of the bigger issues on most Stack Exchange sites is where users leave a comment against a question saying something like "This belongs on StackOverflow" for questions that really don't belong there. That often leads to the OP going and reposting that question there and then getting shot down in flames for it being off-topic while they blame the referring site for suggesting it. If we could get a mechanism in place where users could suggest a migration without actually suggesting it to the OP that'd mitigate that issue... | |
