well we can hide it but not closing. only mods can do so it would be neat if we could close our own question. eg:
asked 7 hours ago by KirbyKing closed 7 hours ago by KirbyKing
|Closed with note: I found out the answer myself |
This is how closing worked originally, but people kept closing questions incorrectly. For example they closed a question as soon as they got an answer (whether or not it was right).
The reason we have closing is so users know that their question is against the rules and it doesn't just disappear.
