It does occasionally matter though... Even if it doesn't in this case. The people initially involved in the question might not know or appreciate the finer details of what's going on. Networking stack …

Is this abandoned or just old and unanswered? The question looks okay though. If it's not possible to answer "How do I restore the default Ubuntu theme?" even for 14.04, we have bigger problems. There …

Firstly, separate the closure from the tag. They aren't the same thing, they didn't happen at the same time. Again, tagging something as status-norepro does not close it. The closure came from other p …

Nope, I don't think it's as simple as that. We have a community of people here who help Ubuntu users do stuff. Often that's highlighted as a "how do I do X" but occasionally that screws down into a l …

No. Sorry, the message is space limited and we need to mention Windows, Mac and just don't have the room (or in my case, inclination) to list every non-Ubuntu distribution directly.

People trying to scramble onto a supported release should be given all the help we can muster. We shouldn't be closing them (as OT-EOL) The parenthesis there is just to indicate that they could still …

This question can be finitely answered with technical evidence and backing. It's not off-topic for being opinionated. Ultimately you could probably write a better question along the same lines that di …

Let's consider the following statements: Bugs that aren't reported are unlikely to be fixed Developers aren't checking Ask Ubuntu for bug reports You're talking as if Launchpad and Ask Ubuntu users …

If you still want to know the answer to something to a valid question and can maintain the question (keep up with comments/edits), there's no reason to close the question. In my opinion this isn't a …

I'm not against this in principle but if memory serves (I wrote the current version), we're within a couple of characters of the message limit. You'd need to dig out space for it out of the existing m …

Reopened, per my comment on Braiam's answer: It's not asking for statistics, it's (as of 23 hours ago) asking if there are mechanisms for tracking how many downloads there have been. I agree that …

You could always flag it and let the 10ks and moderators make the call. But you're already weighing up the right questions. Here's the full spectrum: Could it still be useful to somebody else? If it …

I generally agree. That Mir/Surfaceflinger question was awful before it was edited but there was a valid way of asking roughly the same question to get roughly the same answers that was on-topic. Whe …

I agree and would be tempted to expand the plea to: Look at what you're doing when you're reviewing things! We've seen a few dodgy closes and attempted-closes slip through since the review system came …

It's a fairly interesting topic (to me) and I'd like to see people weigh in. It's rather a shame to see somebody trying to answer it when half a dozen guys are just trying to close it. If the problem …
