When a user votes to close a question (for whatever reason), it would helpful to receive a notification (in the inbox) when the question is edited (either the text, tags, if it closes then is re-opened) so that the user can then modify his or her vote if the question is properly adjusted.

10Too bad you can't modify your close vote.– Andreas BoniniDec 27, 2010 at 21:59

@Jon should I close this or is this different enough as a solution or by 'activity' am I basically saying the same thing?– mfgDec 27, 2010 at 22:19

It's different, but as I said, related. Also, Kop was referring to your post, not to my comment.– Jon SeigelDec 28, 2010 at 3:34

You can get notifications of updates to questions that you voted to close by following them using the follow post feature.

3It's not a answer, it's a workaround. I have VtC over 3000 question until today, I dont want to follow them all :P Dec 10, 2020 at 14:10

1To be clear: it is only possible to get this edit notification if you follow the question. We are not going to put in an automated notification for this. Dec 10, 2020 at 14:17

Hi, such comment answer me, but it fall more a status-decline imo, but you have a workaround, which is nice to have too. Dec 10, 2020 at 15:19

1@yagmoth555 Actually I think this is a better solution than getting spammed with notifications for every question I closevoted. This way I can only follow the ones I think might be salvageable instead of rolling the dice on whether someone will edit the hundreds of unsalvageable ones to tidy up a tag or change "it's" to "its". And I can go through my followed questions and unfollow them after some period of time if my interest in those questions wanes.– ColleenVApr 9, 2021 at 12:56
