@Shokhet or because SE tries to minimize the amount of "force" that mods need to put into the system. Closing because of a gold badge earned the hard way (through good answers) is less forceful that doing it as a mod who, in theory, might have less content knowledge. It is like when a mod suggests a duplicate to the community to see if it wants to close a question rather than close it him/herself. I rather like this I have to say

I think that this question is unclear (or too broad) as asked, and I suggest you edit it to something more answerable. — msh210 ♦16 mins ago
I just saw this today for the first time. After reviewing a post in the "Close Votes" queue, I wanted to see how others had voted on it. When I viewed the queue history, I saw that multiple people had reviewed the same post; however, when I clicked my vote to see the other votes, I only saw my ow...
