What is meta? ×  After a lengthy discussion about the false
positives the current system throws up, it was suggested that we
should open a debate about whether or not the current system
would benefit from being more open.  In my opinion, it would be
valuable if the community had more access to how the good/bad
filter was doing its job, so as to use the wisdom of crowds to
improve upon it.  No one wants spam, but we also don't want to
have to rewrite perfectly good questions to please an invisible
overlord.  I don't think the algorithm should be made explicit,
but to understand the kind of criteria used in its creation
would be enough, I think, to benefit from the SE hive mind.

accepted  Two relevant points:    1. We have more questions than
we need. We can afford to be picky. Further, we can afford to
throw away good questions that don't meet an arbitrary standard
