Aug 14, 2018 at 3:51 comment added SaltySub2 Question-closing and "Marked-as-duplicate" is out-of-hand in Workplace at the moment. For other Stack discussions, I shan't comment for now. For example, workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/60175/… is clearly not a duplicate because it relates specifically to tech and startups not generic "how do I leave my job" questions. It is indeed unfortunate that both the question-asker and the question-answerer are getting reduced chances to get pertinent, helpful replies.

Aug 1, 2018 at 17:37 comment added Bernhard Barker @BenMz It's usually majority vote, but not always. And "off topic" classifies as 1 reason - it used to display all off topic reasons if multiple were selected, not sure if it's still doing that.

Aug 1, 2018 at 17:04 comment added Ben Mz Can someone clarify, if 5 people vote to close a question for different reasons then which reason is shown?
Aug 1, 2018 at 10:47 comment added user1602 @Dukeling, how about this: I'm asking (a) why people find it so easy to consider questions problematic, and (b) if they are problematic, why people find it so easy to close them (or put them "on hold") rather than either edit to fix them, or make comments with suggested fixes. Why is "vote to close" far more popular than either of those?
