Dec 19, 2019 at 18:00 comment added pomsky On the other hand, I for one, found the icon really useful. When I saw a closed question for the first time after the recent change, I saw the "not-visible" icon next to the text, I immediately (and correctly) thought to myself "okay, so this part of the notice is not publicly visible". If there was no such icon, most probably I would've been confused just like OP here.
Dec 19, 2019 at 18:00 comment added pomsky @justice I don't think this question supports the lack of use of the icon specifically. it seems OP is confused by the notice itself, they misunderstood the "viewable by the post author and users with the close/reopen votes privilege" part in the notice, not just the icon. [contd.]

embedded images in blockquotes as otherwise it is hard to differentiate between a screenshot of an answer and an actual answer posted here
