StackOverflow Detoxifier Autor: Evert Pot

It's all too easy to read a question and quickly jump to the conclusion that it's a bad question, or similar enough to another question that it's worth closing.

However, you might not have time to read the entire question and might be wrong. In those cases it's better to not close or downvote the question and leave it to another community member to take the time to make an assessment.

Or perhaps the question was bad. Even in those cases, there might be community members out there that are willing to take the time helping the poster by leaving a thoughtful comment.

This add-on works by simply removing the negative aspects of stack overlow, while keeping the truly important moderation tool intact (the report button, used for problems such as spam or abuse).

This is add-on is especially recommended for site moderators, who can close questions with just their own vote, instead of the usual threshold of 3.
