@weronika Actually as the OP, if you are getting close votes you can see the close reasons. If you click on the close(2) link you see the close modal and what reasons close voters chose.

And I might came a bit strong there with the "you should have known better", but you know the drill, you've probably pointed to the "don't ask" part of the FAQ as many times as I have. | |
| Apr 24, 2012 at 18:47 | comment | added | stslavik | In my defense, @YannisRizos, there was never any intent to rant. I have had similar discussions from both sides on dealing with employer expectations that are simply about ways to properly face the expectation. StackExchange values details, so I attempted to provide such, but when it was felt too localized, I did remove them. When the diagnosis bias led to it being considered a rant, I flagged for its closure. Saying "I should know better" is simply inflammatory. Could I have worded it better? Probably, and I tried. When I determined I could not reasonably salvage it, I flagged it to close. | |
| Apr 24, 2012 at 15:44 | comment | added | weronika | I think the point here is that while voting to close is a form of communication, it doesn't communicate anything very useful to the OP - the standard text with the explanation for why the question was closed and what could be done about it is a better communication tool, but only shows up once the question has been closed. If there are only a few close votes, the OP doesn't know the reason for them, so it's difficult to react in a constructive way. | |

@Dipan Removed the quote from the answer as well. Don't worry about it, but next time please cool off before you post on Meta; I was quite surprised by that sentence because you've always conducted yourself perfectly on ProgSE. i am sorry but that is grossly incorrect That's not enough for me, you need to explain why it's incorrect, just saying that it is won't convince me (or anyone else). but unfortunately we stop at the first point That is a problem, voting to close is not. Let's deal with the real problem. But to be fair most of the questions closed so far are unsalvageable.

First off - my sincere apology for any flaming words. I have removed that from the question. Second, as about the utility of either the question or answer i disagree with your notion of what could be concrete and useful. Will debate more if you wish. And last but most important thing : Voting to close is a form of communication i am sorry but that is grossly incorrect. I do agree with Close early and often, improve, review and re-open. but unfortunately we stop at the first point. Any close vote i have seen, i have not seen any follow up and any improvisation only except 1 question.
