Oct 23, 2017 at 15:20	comment	added	pomsky		@ThomasWard I actually used the custom option and wrote "blatantly off-topic" in case of the aforementioned question. I was slightly worried whether it's now considered against the "be nice" policy and we should stop using it.
Oct 23, 2017 at 15:14	comment	added	Thomas Ward Mod		With the varying changes over time and migration of systems, we changed the close reasons. We also altered the close reasons to be the most commonly used close reasons used. If it's blatantly offtopic though then you can use the "This is not about Ubuntu" close reason, or use a custom one you write out yourself, because that's the closest thing you can get.
