I have had review audits several times in the review queues which are mostly fine. They usually included a short (non comprehensive) description of the solution and a link to a howto with the full solution.  You may argue that such answers are not the best way to answer a question, but I guess they helped the user if he was willing to follow and read the link. So I do not think that they should be used as review audits, as it is quite debatable if they are low quality just because they do not quote the link in the answer.  EDIT: You asked for an example, here is another one I found just now:   The post is short, contains a very short abstract of a solution and a link to a howto which looks as if it answers the question in a more comprehensive way. Deleting this answer is a bad idea, as it contributes useful information. Instead of deleting it should be kept until somebody has the time to improve it by extracting the part relevant to the question from the howto and adding it to the answer.  When looking at the page I see that right after me the next user failed. You may think its bad quality, but it is no good idea to use it for review audits as it can be discussed if it is helpful or not.
I think we can all agree, this sucks:  If you've been around a little while, you've probably encountered hundreds of answers like this in various forums, some of them even marked as &quot;The Answer&quot; by well-meaning1 forum admins looking to close a thread. We could try to enumerate the commonly-observed problems with it...  Link is probably broken If link isn't broken, it's spam If link isn't spam, it's to some broadly-related resource that the answerer found by pressing &quot;I'm feeling lucky&quot; when googling the question's title.  ...but the real issue here is that we don't know! Even if the link was originally pointing directly to the most awesomeest answer ever for exactly the question being asked, there's nothing in the answer itself to even hint at what direction we're being pointed in. Strip the markup, and this is what you're left with:  i think you should take The tutorial HERE! This will help you a lot  Is there even one tiny speck of information there? No. Even the title of the page being linked to would have provided something to go on, but that was entirely too much work. So let me be clear: this sort of response is not an answer. If you see this, flag it. Moderators, if you see it flagged, delete it. There's really only one valid exception to this rule, and that's when the question is:  Suggest me some tutorials where i can learn quick.  Don't get me wrong, it's still a bad answer - but when the question is kinda asking for bad answers this is to be expected. Close or flag the question and move on - this is much more efficient than hanging around to babysit it by deleting every crap answer that inevitably shows up. If you're still reading, you're probably getting really bored by now. &quot;Gee, Shog - answers that contain ZERO information are terrible, horrible, very-bad things? What shocking revelations will you share next?&quot; Yeah. It's really simple... Except, . See, the problem is that once you step away from black-and-white &quot;answers / doesn't answer&quot; decision-making, things get... Interesting. And all those other answers with links in them See, this is an answer:  And so is this:  Yes, they're both very short, and yes, they contain links. But strip the markup, and you still get at least a little bit of useful information. Does that mean these answers should forever hang around the site? No, not necessarily - if it turns out they're just not that useful, they should probably still be removed - or at very least, down-voted so that they rank below other answers. Just remember: if the text of the post contains an honest attempt at answering the question, then it is an answer - so don't flag it otherwise, and if you do, don't complain if your flag gets declined. Answers &amp; Apples If you're still confused, forget about answers. Think about apples instead:  Answers are just like that, but less tasty in pies.  1 By which I mean to say, &quot;criminally lazy&quot;
Weighing a flying bird My father-in-law is a builder. He has put in 20 amp and 15 amp breakers, and ran 12-2 as the home runs to the switch's and the first plug to make them hot. He then ran 14-2 to feed the rest of the plugs, lights, and ceiling fans.   Is it okay that he used different gauge wires on the same circuit? If I buy a game from PSN on ps3 Is it permanently mine? One frequent aspect of pdflatex output that could be improved is to what extent one can select text output from the generated pdf-file and copy-and-paste it. This is essentially an issue of having the right output encoding. There are at least two important aspects to this:   In the ideal case, Unicode would be the output encoding. Ligature glyphs (such as ﬁ) are ideally de-ligated in the output (here: "fi").   It seems that output encodings are specified through the fontenc package. What is the range of possible output encodings, and most importantly: Is there a way to specify a Unicode output encoding and one that deals with ligatures in the intended way?  (Note: It is important to distinguish output from input encodings. How to use different input encodings in LaTeX has been documented widely. My understanding is that this is best handled by the inputenx package, as it supersedes the inputenc package.)    Quick guide to the solutions: The information in the answers and answer threads is a bit distributed, so here the short summary: one approach is to use \input glyphtounicode together with \pdfgentounicode=1; the other approach is to use cmap/mmap.  Addendum: Sometimes one will need to load the package accsupp and enclose one's macro definition in \BeginAccSupp{method=hex,unicode,ActualText=&lt;codepoint&gt;}[...]\EndAccSupp{} to generate a specific code point. See the caveat about non-BMP code points  and the fix (starting from accsupp version v0.4, 2012/11/18) , which provides the new unichar package option. Why is my "Committed" memory so much higher than my actual RAM space? I have run two virus scans and neither of them have found anything so far (Malware Bytes and Avira Rescue). During gaming I will get Windows popups saying that my system is low of memory and recommends closing the game. This can also happen while browsing. My computer seems to become sluggish a lot and will hang up often, such as when clicking a link from a messenger program to open in my browser.   I am unsure what is causing this. My memory usage on the processes tab doesn't add up to such a high percentage of my actual memory.    As a side note, is my Disk Usage supposed to spike up to 100% sometimes? Research seems to say so. How do I write an Apex unit test? Show that there are $ a,b \geq 0 $ so that $ |f(x)| \leq ax+b, \forall x \geq 0.$ What is the mechanism by which magnetic fields do work? I've seen some conflicted answers to this question in texts and on the web, in the case of a dipole, for example.   Do magnetic fields do work directly, or is it their induced electric fields that do work? Is it possible to disable the Super+ shortcuts that switch to apps in 12.04? What are the differences between proofs based on simulation and proofs based on games? How to obtain and use the .bbl file in my tex document for ArXiv submission? Application launchers in '/usr/share/applications' not working in Nautilus I get this error in the deployment step of a share-point farm based project. Most of the suggested solutions on the net are a simple Visual Studio re-start, however, a simple VS restart won't fix this.   Any ideas on what might be causing this? On the number divisors of a number Let $d(n)$ be the number divisors of a natural number $n$. Now let $m$ be a natural number. Find least natural number $n$ such that $d(n)=m$.  Thank you What is the procedure followed by game programmers for saving and resuming game state? like files/mappings. I want to save it for tower defense game and I am using unity3D game engine. Can I install a ROM made for a different device? My wife has a Nikon D3100 that I've been using to film, but the battery typically won't last through long shoots.  I've gathered from searching around that I can't charge the camera with USB, but I wondered if there's ANY way to do that. It seems at least possible that an adapter could exist that would fill in for the battery and plug into the wall, but I haven't been able to find such a thing.  Is there such a product or technique? It would be nice to not buy a second battery, I'm really hoping for a "set it and forget it" solution. I get weird > symbols in my output — what does it mean? How to handle WndProc messages in WPF? In Windows Forms, I'd just override WndProc, and start handling messages as they came in.  Can someone show me an example of how to achieve the same thing in WPF? Let $f(n) = \sum_{(k,n)=1} e^\frac{2\pi ik}{n}$. Show that $f(n) = \sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(\sum_{d\mid (k,n)} \mu(d)e^{\frac{2\pi ik}{n}} \right) $
