Furthermore, I totally disagree that questions should be closed and re-opened and closed again like that... it's not good for the (sometimes new) users to have to see their question's status constantly changing like that. You say "everyone with the rep requirement gets an equal opportunity to say whether they think a question should be closed or open", which is already the case whether the requirement to close is 3 votes or 10 votes. I just don't think on a new (and small) site we should be closing questions with only 3 votes. | |

Users can't vote to close questions they've already successfully closed, so everyone with the rep requirement gets an equal opportunity to say whether they think a question should be closed or open, should it come to that. | |
