| Sep 8, 2012 at 16:05 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @Rachel Well then, you'll have to ask SE for the data you want (by doing what I did here, ask a Meta question ;). 50 deletions per day is an extreme figure, where did you get that from? The numbers I'm seeing are way lower... | |
| Sep 8, 2012 at 15:54 | comment | added | Rachel | @YannisRizos Data.SE is inaccurate because of deleted questions. I know we've been averaging around 50 deletions per day, and possibly more since I can only see the last 50 deleted posts. I was hoping you'd be able to get more accurate numbers. The % closed/deleted questions from unregistered vs newly registered users would tell us if requiring registration would make a difference or not | |
| Sep 8, 2012 at 12:59 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @Rachel I got the data from SE, and the data you are asking for is available on SEDE (for registered accounts). SEDE hasn't been updated in a while, but the next time it does it will follow a near real time schedule (weekly updates). Or so they promised ;) | |

| Sep 7, 2012 at 17:32 | comment | added | Rachel | @YannisRizos Where did you get the data from? And would it be possible to get the closure rate for questions from newly created accounts, such as accounts created on the same day the question was asked? | |

| Aug 29, 2012 at 3:24 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @Rachel Hey, the more data we get the better ;) | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 3:23 | comment | added | Rachel | @YannisRizos It was just something I was curious about - closure/downvote ratio of newly registered users vs unregistered ones. I think it skews the numbers to include all questions by registered users because obviously a long-term registered user who asks many questions is likely to understand the site better,and ask better questions. | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 2:52 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @Rachel Given SO's size and the fact that it's our second largest referrer, a SO user discovering ProgSE after they have earned a decent amount of rep on SO is not an uncommon scenario. Rep is partly a metric of familiarity with the SE platform, and if someone is new here but not new on the network, chances are that they will at least read the FAQ before posting. Also, as I've already mentioned, the percentage of closures for registered accounts (in general) is half of the one for unregistered ones, registered accounts aren't really a problem. | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 2:49 | comment | added | Rachel | @YannisRizos No, just the first week the account was created here, regardless of what other SE accounts they have | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 2:44 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @Rachel You mean the first week the account was created in general? As in any of the network's sites? | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 2:43 | comment | added | Rachel | @YannisRizos Hrrrmm what about about only counting a user's first question on this site? Or perhaps only count questions asked in the first week of the account being created? | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 2:17 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @Rachel The percentage of closures for registered accounts is a little bit over half the percentage for unregistered accounts. Getting data for newly registered accounts might be problematic, we need to define what we mean by newly registered first, for example does someone who registered today, but has 3K rep on SO, count? | |
| Aug 29, 2012 at 2:10 | comment | added | Rachel | If someone does run the numbers, can they also provide us with the percent of questions from newly registered accounts that are closed/downvoted too? I'd be interested in seeing how it compares with unregistered accounts. It may be that requiring registration won't do anything to stop the bad questions, although you would be able to take more moderator actions against the account if they're registered. | |

| Aug 28, 2012 at 22:46 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | The answer seems obvious; require registration. Although I know that SE doesn't want to do it on every site, I think the history and nature of this site probably justifies the change. Anecdotally, the question quality on SO improved significantly when they decided to require registration for asking questions. | |
