| Aug 7, 2014 at 7:45 | comment | added | 200_success Mod | @JamesKhoury I suggest that you post an answer. | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 7:44 | comment | added | James Khoury | I'm disagreeing because you're advocating for NOT using custom close reasons as they can confuse. I'm advocating for better custom close reasons instead because a user may not understand how the rules apply to their question. (running on the assumption people actually read them and want to post within the guidelines) | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 7:40 | comment | added | 200_success Mod | @JamesKhoury Each voter can only choose one close reason — either a standard or a custom one. Multiple close reasons would be posted only if the users chose different reasons. | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 7:38 | comment | added | James Khoury | Correct me if I am wrong but both the Custom and the generic close reasons show don't they? So therefore the user asking the question can see a general rule and a specific explanation. This I believe is the correct way to do it unless it it blindingly obvious. | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 7:12 | comment | added | 200_success Mod | @JamesKhoury But closing a question with a custom reason causes the reason to be posted as a comment as a side-effect. Custom close reasons have the potential to enable users to make up the ad hoc closure decisions. (Example) | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 6:55 | comment | added | James Khoury | I'd challenge all of us to put great worded comments rather than worrying about a user misunderstanding a comment. Comments are comments not close reasons. And explaining how the close reason applies is definitely better than no comment at all. | |
