| Oct 17, 2015 at 17:34 | comment | added | Lucia | I disagree with the spirit of this answer. I would certainly want to know if any question I had voted to close on was taken up at meta, so I can reevaluate my vote, and vote to open if necessary. Of course this is not necessary since others can vote to reopen anyway, but in my opinion people should be encouraged to take responsibility for actions such as voting to close. | |

| Jun 27, 2013 at 5:19 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | Regardless of whether someone who voted to close cam revoke their vote, we have long encouraged them to be willing to explain their reasons to close, and to participate in a discussion if appropriate. Developing and maintaining a good culture of closing questions is important, and hard! Hence making it easy for people voting to close to be aware if what's going on later seems a very worthy goal. | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 22:14 | comment | added | Manishearth | @MichaelHardy VTCers can't undo a vote anyway. This informs people who see the post after the meta post is opened up. Which means that they will go there first, instead of continuing a discussion there/voting to close or reopen | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 22:07 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | How can that work? If you vote to close a question, do you subsequently get automatically notified of new comments under it? Is so, you're actually saying so would make your meaning clear. If not, then it won't work. | |
