Changed the order in what to try. As I understand it, pinging the closer should be one of the last things to try.

Reword pinging. Remove stalking the close-voters into chat. Expand advice wrt. creating an MSO question

| Sep 10, 2021 at 17:28 | comment | added | psubsee2003 | @Jay the best answer to that question is the link that Andrew T gave you under the other answer: meta.stackoverflow.com/q/400960/2821954. Suffice it to say, the community and the corporation apparently disagree on the best approach. And since the community does the moderation, it is usually what wins out.

| Sep 10, 2021 at 10:35 | comment | added | Makyen Mod | @OrangeDog It is fairly consistent. A user is eligible to be pinged if they acted unilaterally on the post (made an edit, posted a bounty, was the only person to close, etc.). If the person was just one of a group of people who all participated in the same action, then they are not made pingable by that action. | |

| Sep 10, 2021 at 3:20 | comment | added | Jay | I don't know if anyone on this thread is in a position to do anything about it, but: None of what has been said here is explained or even remotely implied by the text in the close banner. When a user has his question closed as a duplicate and the "alleged" duplicate does not, in fact, answer his question, he is given no clear instructions on what to do next. Indeed, he is not even given a solid clue. Why can't the banner say, "Edit your question within 3 days to explain how it is different and it will be queued for re-examination" or whatever. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 18:19 | comment | added | Makyen Mod | Note: if there's more than one user who voted to close, then none of the close-voters are eligible to receive pings from comments (unless they have otherwise made an action which causes them to be eligible; e.g. have a non-deleted comment on the question, edited the question, etc.). The "final" close-voter is not pingable as a result of their close-vote, regardless of if they have a gold tag badge. If there was one, and only one, close-voter who successfully closed the question by their sole action, then that user is eligible to be pinged from comments. | |
