Need pointers for Low Quality Posts Review

Question

I have recently got access to Low Quality Posts Review. I tried to look into Meta for related questions or some guidelines on the site for what action to make when and what to look for in posts. However I am not able to get pointers.

Can anyone help me with the same?

Answer 1

The guidelines for questions, I reckon, are pretty straightforward. You'll close if a question deserves closure, vote looks OK if the flag isn't justified and skip if you're unsure.

You have four options for answers: Looks OK, Edit, Recommend deletion, Skip. Let's see what answers you have to recommend to be deleted first; as its the most straightforward.

Recommend Deletion:

You can recommend that an answer be deleted. If you're a trusted user, you can directly vote to delete an answer with a score of -1 or lower. Adding a comment is optional, but

You shouldn't comment on these: (It doesn't really make sense)

• Spam:

  then I went through but she said you can't win and then I totally hear cookies relevant to poisonous gorillas

  • Great dangling icebergs
  • stock market pranksters
  • ghost virus eat your zombie

  but Testo X Factor Xplode useful muscle weight long night laughing but I know cramped streets eat bananas. http://example.com

• Gibberish:

You should comment on these:

• VLQ answers: (Very Low Quality posts)

  I think the movie is called TERMINATOR 9: AGE OF ULTRON.

  This does not provide an answer to the question. To critique or request clarification from an author, leave a comment below their post.

  An additional "you can always comment on your own posts, and once you have sufficient reputation you will be able to comment on any post." will be there if the user has less than 50 reputation.

• A new question:

  OkAY now i so didn't understund theez answers lol. what does Nemo say in Elysium?

  With

  If you have a new question, please ask it by clicking the Ask Question button. Include a link to this question if it helps provide context.

• A thanks post:

  Thank you I love you ur answer changed my life soooo much!

  With

  Please don't add "thank you" as an answer. Once you have sufficient reputation, you will be able to vote up questions and answers that you found helpful.

• A link-only answer:

  Yo dawg you should totally take a look at this. It haz your answer.

  With

  Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

Hope I didn't miss one since I did this by memory. Anyways, here are some pro tips:

• Review carefully: You're now bearing a more important responsibility. Any action you take will contribute to or degrade site's quality:
  1. I always open a link to the question. Unfortunately, sometimes the context can be hard to understand from the answer itself. Open a link to the post, and study the whole thread if it's not obvious what you should do.
  2. Don't be afraid of clicking skip. One big problem SE is tackling with is people who don't review carefully (Robo-reviewers, so they're called). If you choose the wrong course of action, you'll be no different from them.
• Judge the content, not the author: Dura lex sed lex. If a high-rep user doesn't bother to write an answer that meets the quality standards of the site, they should be treated the same way everyone else is being treated.
• Don't vote to delete technically wrong answers!: A question or an answer can be pretty bad, but still can be on-topic or "qualifying" as an answer. Do not delete answers because they're misleading or wrong. Downvotes are for that.
• Last but not the least, it doesn't make sense to choose to comment when someone else already has done. Only one comment is enough.
