| Jan 26, 2012 at 14:31 | comment | added | yannis | @UphillLuge As a sidenote: What's worked for SO for 3 years, won't necessarily work for every other site on the network, especially the ones where subjective questions are welcome. And vice versa. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 14:29 | comment | added | yannis | @UphillLuge Although I see your point, it would be extremely helpful to have a single point of reference to guide users to. The point is not so much to make everybody happy, but the apparent information gap. A guide would help us be a bit more efficient, as we won't have to waste any time re-iterating the basic re-open process to every newer user. Some will still complain, but hopefully some will take the advice and try to improve their questions on their own. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 14:22 | comment | added | slhck | @UphillLuge I don't think it works. We've seen plenty of users who just re-post their question instead of editing, or go ahead and write comments under their question without ever addressing somebody, therefore never getting a response. This list can be continued. As a new user I wouldn't know what to do. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 14:16 | comment | added | Uphill Luge | No kind of phrasing is ever going to make everybody happy that their question got closed. Make it too broad and they'll complain it isn't detailed enough. Make it detailed and they'll complain that their question doesn't match any detail to the letter. What's there has worked for 3 years. | |

| Jan 26, 2012 at 13:54 | comment | added | slhck | @YannisRizos I really like that idea! If the close message was changed accordingly, this would totally make sense. Added it to the question. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 13:52 | comment | added | yannis | Counter proposal: Instead of altering the FAQ, we could expand your suggestion to a full blown "how to get my question re-opened" guide, in similar vein to the "how to ask" and "how to answer" help pages, and link to it on each close notification (and on the FAQ, obviously). How to re-open a question doesn't really belong in the FAQ, as it's information that only becomes interesting & useful after a question is closed. Me thinks. | |
