What happens to closed questions in LibreOffice forum

edit

Thanks, gabix. I'm not sure whether your referring to a very specific technical definition of "forum" but I meant it in its plain English colloquial sense.

There had been a discussion about closed/not closed status. Some high-karma contributors here considered that closing a question was not a good idea because an answer can always be improved, even years after. The consensus was then to stop closing questions except when they obviously appeared as spam, offensive or off-topic. The most important point is a question must not remain unanswered.

I know that for some weeks now a user (I will not disclose his name) has undertaken to review old unclosed questions to checks some as answered when a relevant answer has been provided and close them.

This clearly contradicts the consensus above, but I think he was inactive when the debate was going on.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to contact him privately from here to warn him about that.

@JustA.NotherUser, I'm not referring to any definition of forum. I'm referring to the definition of this site's scope (see the How to use the Ask site link on the main page).

@gabix: I get why "forum" is not right -- it's not an open exchange of ideas, it's focused on answering questions. Thanks for pointing out that clarification!
