As per my earlier meta post, we will be updating all of our community specific close reasons to follow the new and improved close reason format.
We'll be starting with our technical support for modded Minecraft close reason, which currently looks like this:
Requests for technical support of modded Minecraft are off-topic, including crashes, errors or other abnormal behavior caused by modding. See Where can I ask troubleshooting questions about modded Minecraft? for other places to go, or clarify your question if the issue persists without any installed mods.
Since this is our first attempt at this, we plan to keep this one active until June 7th (ish). As a reminder, you can include partial suggestions, and the mod team will do its best to incorporate all the feedback.
The five (new) fields are:
Brief description (100 character limit):
Visible in the close/flag dialog. Very succinct.Usage guidance (500 character limit):
When to use this close reason. Ideally, this is descriptive enough to cover edge cases, and that detail should inspire confidence in close voters that this reason is the right choice.Post notice close description (500 character limit):
Visible to all users, the post notice description should follow the format "This question was closed because it is... It is currently not accepting answers.".Post owner guidance (500 character limit):
Visible only to the post author, this explains to the OP why their question was closed, and gives detailed information on what (if anything) they can do to improve their post to get it reopened.
Helpful links to the help center are good to include.Privileged user guidance (500 character limit):
Visible to everyone but the post owner. This field should inform close voters on how best to guide the OP in improving their question.
Examples can be found here.
