Sometimes one sees a situation like with this question: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/303325/cargo-cult-science-in-mathematics

which goes on hold and back again a number of times. Should there be a limit to the number of such rounds? IMHO a majority should not override a substantial minority, which bothered with voting to re-open.

EDIT: I should have split this into two questions; apologies to all involved.
