Without a good explanation of why he should't have closed it, how can I know to say "No" to him in the future? He was on the fence about it and I was as well. If he's on the fence in the future, and I, being a person apparently consider an expert in whether ObjC questions are closeable or not, should be more informed about what side of the fence to push him to so we can avoid him closing in the first place in the future. | |

"Not to mention, your proposal places an overhead burden on future actions that are considered routine today." I don't want a moderator overruling another moderator with no explanation--when they're supposed to be on equal grounds--to be routine. | |

| Aug 15, 2014 at 11:22 | comment | added | nhgrif | I don't understand why one moderator opening and another moderator closing the same question should be a routine, every-day occurrence. That's kind of my point to all of this. If moderator A is routinely closing questions that moderator B is routinely re-opening, shouldn't moderator A just stop closing the particular questions moderator B closes? Consider how it looks to the asker who gets his question closed an a custom close reason is posted (along with a comments suggesting what the question needs more of), then inexplicably reopened? | |
