There are things that are done via proprietary backends and there's not much a customer can do about it, but for some things there are viable options for self-help and I wish those would be documented here, instead of just spamming "contact the vendor" without even considering this might be one of those self remedied things. | |

| Aug 7, 2022 at 19:24 | comment | added | user13267 | people are too trigger happy about close votes. A question's closability should be based on how many views the question has and how old it is. Unless it's a dupe (or spam/incomprehensible, in which case it should probably be deleted), a question with less than 100 (or some other reasonable number of ) views should not be closable. How will anybody get answers if there haven't even been enough eyeballs on their question? | |

In general, I believe it's better to consider this a mod action rather than point the finger at any particular mod. The same question would/should result if it was closed by community vote. Better to question the action than the person.
