We do try to encourage people commenting when they downvote or vote to close, but we cannot make this mandatory (it just encourages useless comments like "DFGHDGUIWRHEJGFHJ": We can't enforce coherent comments :-/) | |
| Feb 20, 2012 at 8:51 | comment | added | Razor | If I may share my point of view - I got my question downvoted and closed without any reason given, I suspect because it was assumed I didn't read FAQs. I did read them, back when I joined nearly 2 years ago when this rule didn't exist, so making a specific close reason that isn't a generic "off-topic" would, IMHO, help to clear the confusion that is created in cases like this, otherwise users like me will just see other open similar questions and assume that asking them is fine. A message like Mark suggested would be ok as well, if a specific close reason cannot be added. | |

| Feb 20, 2012 at 2:28 | comment | added | EEAA | That's a good reminder, @MarkHenderson. I'll make a concerted effort to leave explanatory note along with close votes. | |
