| Sep 20, 2012 at 1:50 | comment | added | Brent Pabst | @JohnGardeniers Yea, just noticed that. I heard something about mods can hammer them closed? Is that true, if so I guess all we can do is flag them? | |
| Sep 20, 2012 at 1:15 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | It really sucks that crap "questions" can't be closed while they have a bounty. I've seen more than one have a bounty applied for the sole purpose of preventing closure. | |

| Sep 19, 2012 at 15:39 | comment | added | Brent Pabst | Yep, that was what I what I was thinking. Many of us do get paid for consulting here and there, and I know at what point my patience and amount of "free" time expires. | |
