| Dec 21, 2019 at 14:44 | comment | added | Donald Duck | @Tetsujin I don't think it says exactly "blatantly off-topic", I think it says something like "has nothing to do with [the site's topic]". In fact, when I think about it, if I remember correctly "blatantly off-topic" is what <3k users have instead of custom reasons. Anyway, my point is that I'm quite sure that closing with a custom reason will say something about that the question has nothing to do with the site's topic, even though I'm unsure about the exact wording. | |
| Dec 21, 2019 at 10:57 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @DonaldDuck - As far as I'm aware, the 'blatantly off topic' close reason disappears at about 2 or 3,000 rep, & until you pass that point you can't see close votes at all. I don't have any SE site where I'm in that range to be able to test. A mod might be able to confirm or correct my info. | |
| Dec 21, 2019 at 10:28 | comment | added | Donald Duck | The problem with this is that if you use custom close reasons, the reason that will be displayed will be "blatantly off-topic" (at least it used to be, correct me if they changed that). | |
