The Problem
As explained in this post and a follow-up to this one:
Obviously the event linked did a lot to clean up unanswered questions, but there is still a long way to go! Statistics for my favorite sites (unanswered with no upvoted answers) basically that number when you click on unanswered that shows up with the text "questions with no upvoted or accepted answers":
$\pu{\color{Green}{13} Worldbuilding}$
$\pu{\color{Green}{81} PCG}$
$\pu{\color{orange}{425} Astronomy}$
$\pu{\color{red}{4,673} Chemistry}$
How can we solve this?
My idea: Create a chat room like [spring-cleanup] dedicated to answering unanswered questions. In fact, I have already done this. My question is, can this work?
I am obligated to post a disclaimer:
I usually don't foray onto meta sites much, I'm a chemist, not a meta-chemist. This is one of my first posts, please tell me if anything needs to be fixed. Kindly, not like this one.
