Question

History and the Language and Culture subjects need cleaning.
In truth most of the questions in both these subjects will not be answered due to lack of information or text mistakes. Like: "Find a synonym for the italicized word."
When in truth nothing is italicized. Can the moderators do something about this, because I find it annoying to have to sift between hundreds of questions until being able to find a answerable one.

Answer 1

Let me take a look!

Answer 2

I've been cleaning a lot of sections lately by closing very old questions, questions which provide insufficient information and questions posted in the wrong section. I believe @karatechopper was doing the history section :)

Answer 3

OS needs a cleaning @opcode

Answer 4

I so badly wish that we could vote to close open questions like on stackoverflow.
In the means time I have an idea, why not let ambassadors do some cleaning? Just give them the power to close questions for a couple of days, if that ambassador has time he or she can close old questions or ones that are posted with insufficient information, and it shouldn't be too hard to implement. Plus it seems like there are twice as many ambassadors than moderators. Just a thought.

Answer 5

Mod = Delete all

Ambassador = Delete questions 1+ week old

I like your thinking @Opcode but we don't really have anyone to implement it sorry!

Answer 6

Wait? By anyone you mean there are no developers working on OpenStudy?

Answer 7

There are admins who I think fix OpenStudy when it is down but no innovators like shadowfiend, mattfuery, and farmdawgnation .

Answer 8

@Opcode
Oke I cleaned language and culture. Closed all old solved questions, wrong posted questions, cheat questions and spam. Left some questions which could be helpful.

History is a little bigger so I don't think I have time for that in the next 2 weeks.

Answer 9

Hah hah!
Thanks!
