Dec 25, 2012 at 23:00 comment added John Gardeniers In the vast majority of cases when questions are closed the only comment worth posting is "read the FAQ" but since the powers that be have decided we shouldn't do that I don't feel any need to leave a comment. On those occasions where I have left a comment I often get somebody arguing with me about it.
Dec 23, 2012 at 18:56 comment added Ward - Trying Codidact Mod @HopelessN00b Shopping questions are unwanted because they're "Not Constructive," so that's the preferred close reason for those.
Dec 23, 2012 at 18:15 comment added HopelessN00b FAQ reads to me like shopping questions are off topic (along with home settings, career advice, licensing, etc, etc.), so that's the VTC reason I pick for those categories, for whatever difference it makes.
Dec 23, 2012 at 14:34 comment added Rob Moir @DennisKaarsemaker people aren't required to leave feedback and that's intentional, so while we can wish that people give feedback we can't require it. I suspect that people don't leave feedback when the asker hasn't apparently invested much effort into asking the question in the first place.
Dec 23, 2012 at 9:21 comment added Dennis Kaarsemaker +1 for the "Leave a comment when voting to close". Right now I see a lot of questions closed without a single bit of feedback.
