And they do exist on other sites, although the occurrence is naturally much lower, since there's far less activity on all the other sites. | |

| Dec 9, 2022 at 11:58 | comment | added | Michael Kay | Criticism of someone's decisions is not an "accusation". If my assumptions about who is making mistakes are misplaced, then you're supporting my point: I would like to know more about who is making them, so that we can engage in debate. | |
| Dec 9, 2022 at 10:44 | comment | added | starball | I think your accusation/assumption of who is incorrectly closing questions in your frequented tags is very likely misplaced. It's probably not a good look on you if you make accusations/assumptions that are misplaced. | |
| Dec 9, 2022 at 10:40 | comment | added | starball | It's not only moderators who can close things. Anyone with 3k rep can close vote, and anyone with 15 can flag for closure. If you want to advise users who close voted, you can open chat rooms with them, or @reply them (you'd have to do that individually in separate comments, so I'd recommend a chat room). | |
| Dec 9, 2022 at 10:39 | comment | added | Michael Kay | One of the big problems, I think, is the policy for closing questions as duplicates. We get a lot of situations where experts can see that you've fallen into the same hole as lots of other people, but where the symptoms are sufficiently different that the person falling into the hole is unlikely to recognise it. Different symptoms, same underlying cause: is that a duplicate? | |
| Dec 9, 2022 at 10:35 | comment | added | starball | If you want to get help with coordinated re-opening, I suggest you start a coordination chat room. On SO, there is SOCVR. I'm sorry to hear that you're seeing incorrect closures by people who don't know the subject matter. It might help at least if you comment why you think a question should be re-opened. | |
