2015/12/16 | 442 | 1,720 | <issue_start>username_0: I frequently see unanswered questions, not because there isn't good answers but because the user who asked them is no longer active.

As without an accepted answer they are not very useful. And if they are closed it will give an active user the chance to ask them, w... |

2016/02/08 | 1,099 | 4,417 | <issue_start>username_0: As can be seen from our [previous meta](https://anime.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2725/policy-review-image-only-id-requests), there is a clear community concensus that image id-requests don't have a place on our site.
