The OP clearly spent time and effort considering the next facebook. I mean, they were going to rule the world as soon as someone implemented the RuleTheWorld(boolean) feature for them. They had thought everything out. In the end, the wording lacks in the close reason, but I think there are a lot of users closing questions who recognize a question worthy of being closed and just go with the most consensus present. After all, there is apparently a big to do with the close queue. | |
