I am really enjoying that there are so many users already with the [close-vote casting privilege][1] and actively using the [review queue tools][2] to help maintaining this site.

However, while going through [flags][3] I often notice, some questions are closed with the following reason:

> This question **does not appear to be about Ethereum, the decentralized application platform and smart contract enabled blockchain**, within the scope defined in the [help center][4].

This is not certainly true for some questions like [this one][5] and I notice this happens quite often in relation with [tag:mining]. In my eyes mining is an essential part of Ethereum and clearly on-topic.

If the question is of low quality, vote down and add a comment to help new users on-boarding by explaining how the question could be improved. If the question is hardly salvageable, use the _unclear what you are asking_ reason. (And so on.)

But please don't close questions as _off-topic_ which clearly relate to Ethereum. Discuss below if you disagree. Thanks :)
