Adam Davis Adam Davis asked asked: Have you ever voted to close a post you knew you could edit if you had more time?

Neal Neal answered answered: Yes.

kiamlaluno kiamlaluno answered answered: No.

minitech minitech answered answered: No.

genesis genesis answered answered: No. That's a wrong step. If I do not have time, I let it as-is. It might be edited by someone else.

casperOne casperOne answered answered: No, but at the same time, "more time" is subjective. If I think I can improve a post, I usually favorite it and come back if I don't feel I have "enough time".

Brad Larson Brad Larson answered answered: I've voted to close questions, then realized how I could edit them into shape afterwards. I then would generally edit the question and leave behind a comment telling people to ignore my mistaken close vote.

Stu Thompson Stu Thompson answered answered: No, I've never closed that could be saved by editing. I, somewhat masochistically, like to cleanup newbie posts. If it is beyond my capabilities (eg.: don't know language x well enough to format the code to a presentable state) or time then I'll leave it.

BoltClock BoltClock answered answered: Yes, and in that case my close vote is often intended as a chance for the OP to do so.

awoodland awoodland answered answered: I don't think so on that one - edits that save a question are more far more rewarding than simply closing in my view.

Moshe Moshe answered answered: No, but I've flagged.
