I noticed that closing unclear questions often happens in next to no time while reopening them after the OP honestly follows the request to explain what he meant and does a reasonably decent job on that may take forever (mostly, I surmise, because many people are trigger happy with the "close" button, but too lazy to follow up on their "close" votes). Can we somehow remedy that? One reasonable way would be to automatically notify the "close" voters when the question closed as "unclear" has been edited, but that may be not technically possible, so, perhaps, we should just flag it and request the moderators to review it (I think they can reopen it single-handed).

The particular question I now have in mind is Probability of having complete conversion in a box of three different object with interaction rulesProbability of having complete conversion in a box of three different object with interaction rules but I doubt it is an isolated case.

Reopening questions after clarifications
