Close Topic [require confirmation when closing topic]

bigpuppy

Okay, so I just accidentally closed my topic.

So my suggestion is add a warning when you press the “close topic” button saying something like

Are you sure you want to close your topic?
Yes No

Thanks,
bigpuppy

Yes No

I also support this ^ except I still support the OP. (The post above is in a topic here.)

Oh, also, if the ST closes your topic (as a duplicate, etc.) you can't reopen it. If you have thought of a reason to reopen it, you can report it.

I thought of this a bit after f1ilp posted.

Could help if you needed an answer to something, but accidentally locked your topic. Reporting it to be opened can take a little long. So

Support but make it so you can only reopen topics from a maximum of 24 hours ago. That way, you can't reopen topics that were closed long ago.

because what if you wanted to stop people from posting for a bit, and you were planning to reopen it, like 2 days later?

Fun fact:

I accidentaly closed the workarounds sticky. Anyone see that happen?
Luckily it reopened shortly after.

Yes, I don't want to feel so bad by giving the ST another report because I had closed my topic on accident. Support.

Doesn't matter because the quote isn't a valid reason.

It only says that's how you re-open a topic, not why we don't need your suggestion.
Wait until they come up with a real response.
