What's the difference between closed and not closed question on SO (except taged as closed of course).

It's not tagged as such, but rather marked as such.

When you look at it, one can still down/up vote, add answers, add comments and so on.

You can't post answers.

So what's the difference.

You can't post answers.

In my opinion if question is closed there should be no activities allowed on this question (adding comments, answers, down/up voting etc) except for reopening.

That's what locking questions is for.

Otherwise it works like some sort of dummy to me.
