| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:45 | comment | added | Valorum | @Randal'Thor - We should add in a link to the FAQ about "on-topic" questions. | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:44 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | @Valorum IMHO it should be explained anyway. The problem with the vanilla close reason, unlike the others, is that it says pretty much nothing except "the question's off-topic, bye". No helpful explanation, no link to meta policies. Comments can give a better explanation than the "not about sci-fi or fantasy" close banner. | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:39 | comment | added | Valorum | @Randal'Thor - Sure it takes two seconds to change it, but I'm thinking of the time then needed to explain the close policy, especially to new users who're entirely unfamiliar with how Meta works. I like the idea of having both though | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:38 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot Mod | @Valorum arguably the generic is less useful because you can use the free text one. Can you add more though? | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:38 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | @Valorum "use of our time"? It's literally a two-second button-push by a moderator. Keeping a close reason will actually use more of the community's time, because we're going to have to sort this out at some point, drafting four different texts for each one of our close reasons. (That's another reason why I kept drafting wording out of this meta post.) | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:37 | comment | added | Valorum | @TheLethalCarrot - Better to have both | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:35 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot Mod | @Valorum generally when using the general one I find a comment is usually given as well. This would just mean we’d use the custom free text one which leaves the comment and merge both steps | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 19:34 | comment | added | Valorum | Doing away with an existing (useful) close reason for a different (useful) close reason seems like a non-productive use of our time. | |
