It is supposed that "Community" is an automated service.
But a couple of times it made some human decisions.
Like this question.
I voted to close as duplicate. But as soon as the issue was fixed, "Community" closed it.
Was it done by a human?

@Seth That answer does not look related. That is related to a case where some user deleted an account. Here there it is a new question and I did not delete my account yet :-)– Pilot6Commented Jul 17, 2015 at 16:23

It looks like OP closed his question. It is explained here– Pilot6Commented Jul 17, 2015 at 16:25

Yes, that is correct. See the "UPDATED" section in the answer I linked.– Seth ModCommented Jul 17, 2015 at 16:25

When you voted to close the question, the system asked its author a question similar to this:
The author conceded that the linked question you provided did indeed solve his problem. The system - represented by the Community user - reacted to this by closing the question.
This is generally a much more expedient method of handling duplicates where the author is around and responsive.
