| Mar 1, 2017 at 10:21 | comment | added | Roland | @Chris, sorry, I'm not using terminology correctly. By "moderators" I just meant those high-rep users that cast the close votes. (What's the correct term?) | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 9:55 | comment | added | Chris Mod | @Roland Not all questions are put on hold by the moderators - most are closed by the community. Since a moderators vote is binding (meaning it comes into effect immediately), we mostly abstain voting - I usually only cast the 5th vote, where this effect doesn't matter. | |

| Mar 1, 2017 at 9:34 | comment | added | Roland | Thanks, these are good points. I appreciate that it's a trade-off, as not closing questions can clutter the site. @canadianer also pointed out that putting on hold is meant to allow revisions, and I agree with that, but it depends on how the "on hold" message is conveyed to the (newbie) user. I think that without any explanatory comments, the "on hold" message is very discouraging. If moderators would always provide a comment explaining why the question is being put on hold, and what the OP should do to improve, then it's very different. So, more feedback, not just a silent close vote. | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 9:32 | comment | added | Chris Mod | Basically "on hold" and "closed" mean the same: The question cannot be answered. They can be edited and re-opened, and this is easier for "on hold" questions. A question stays "on hold" for the first five days after the closure (except for duplicate closings). Other than that, there is no major difference. See this posting on meta.stackchange.com for details. | |
