Mar 9, 2015 at 2:41 comment added Todd Trimble Mod The ethics of explaining the specific reasons that closers have for deciding to close is a recurring issue. It's a little late here, but may return to this some time tomorrow (unless someone precedes me). There are many precedents for this discussion.
Mar 9, 2015 at 2:37 comment added Alexander Gelbukh @ToddTrimble Great to know it! Still my point is not re-opening my question but an ethical issue that this practice causes, especially with respect to new users like myself. This site is about helping, including helping to formulate the question and helping to gain confidence in fellow users.

Mar 9, 2015 at 2:34 comment added Todd Trimble Mod Also let me point out that there is an ongoing meta thread meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/223/requests-for-reopen-votes where users can appeal for questions (not necessarily their own) to be reopened.

Mar 9, 2015 at 2:29 comment added Alexander Gelbukh @NoahS OOPS, sorry -- probably on other sites I see this link because I have sufficient reputation. Will now edit the text accordingly.
Mar 9, 2015 at 2:27 comment added Noah Schweber A short comment: re "the judges" who closed the question, anyone (who has enough reputation) can vote to reopen a question - there is no need for the original closers to vote to close. Once a few users decide the question should be reopened, it will be. The link for unblocking you ask for, btw, is the "reopen" link below the question; it is in the location where the "close" link would otherwise be. I believe this link is only visible if you have sufficient reputation. Also, I suggest avoiding phrases like "violates their rights" - I don't think this is a situation where rights realy crop up.

Mar 9, 2015 at 2:23 comment added Alexander Gelbukh @ToddTrimble Right, thank you! I did not mention this because I suggest to discuss the issue itself, not to unblock my particular post. Now I added a link to the question.
