The only way it becomes public, is when the question gets actually closed. Until then, in the flag/vote was cast directly and not via review, there's no way to know that a specific user voted or flagged to close a specfic question. The auto comment is unique and annoying exception.– Shadow WizardCommented Jun 28 at 16:30

1This would create more work for me. The main site I participate on is here, and per policy, questions can be closed as duplicates of more general questions such as faq posts and other canonical posts. I generally go an extra mile and edit the automatic comment to point out or quote the exact part of the target post that answers a question, and if the comment is posted by the Community user, it would not be editable by the voter or flagger, and in my case I'd have to post another comment to not only do the above, but also clarify the automatic text.– Sonic the Anonymous HedgehogCommented Jun 28 at 17:24

3This question is similar to: Is a new comment format for duplicate votes being tested?. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem.– Karl KnechtelCommented Jun 28 at 18:34

@KarlKnechtel see meta.stackexchange.com/questions/401000/… as to why this was posted again– muruCommented Jun 29 at 1:48

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog out of curiosity, do you know if it's possible to find out what fraction of such autocomments are edited at all?– muruCommented Jun 29 at 2:00

I get that, but I think it would have been better to list the separate proposals as answers on that question, rather than as separate question posts.– Karl KnechtelCommented Jun 29 at 3:35

5@KarlKnechtel I disagree. this is a proper usage of the meta framework. if that "parent"/originating question was tagged discussion... maybe, but it's not. it's just a support question.– starballCommented Jun 29 at 3:39

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
