Today, I have seen (and answered) [***this question on zfs***][1]. For me, the question made perfect sense and has been well-researched and well-written. Yet, it managed to earn two close votes where the close reason given has been *"unclear what you're asking"*. No voter bothered to leave a comment.

As I only can see some sense in the the "unclear what you're asking" close reason if *specific* information is being asked for, I am requesting to consider the following options:

1. request a mandatory comment with this close reason, where the voter would need to specify what information is missing
2. present a big, red *"only check this close reason if you are actually familiar with the topic of the question and please leave a comment explaining what is missing"* warning box to everyone who is checking the "unclear what you're asking" close reason. Only let the voter proceed if he has clicked the **"Yes"**, **"I promise"** and **"I *really* mean it"** buttons in sequence<sup>1</sup>.
3. remove this close reason altogether
