One of my answers was put on hold due to trigger-happy moderators:

Is this the right place to appeal?

Actually, none of the close-voters is a moderator on this site. So the wording of your message is a bit imprecise.

@MartinSleziak I assumed that putting a question on hold after close votes have been cast requires at least the input of 2 moderators.

I understand your point that you have included your own thoughts byt posting your own answer. (Maybe you could mention this in the question so that it is more obvious? Possibly something along the lines: "I have posted my own attempt as an answer. Alternative solutions and further comments are welcome."

@RodrigodeAzevedo Who do you mean by moderators?

When I talk about moderators I mean the users who are actually listed as moderators here: math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators and have been elected moderators.

Users can vote to close (=put on hold) and reopen as soon as they have 3k reputation points: math.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/close-questions That's quite different from being a moderator.

I am not acquainted with the definition of MSE moderator. I am also not acquainted with the mechanics of putting questions on hold.

I understand your objection, but unfortunately I cannot edit my previous comment, can I?

Another reason why people might consider the question off-topic is that it might include some context (i.e.: Why is it interesting? Where does the question come from?) The section on context in How to ask a good question. gives a reasonable advice about this.

If you don't find it interesting, do not click on it.

People who find the topic interesting subscribe to the tags included in the question.

@RodrigodeAzevedo In any case to answer your question - what is the place to ask for reopening.

Yes...

Probably you should first try to look at what were the objections why your question was closed. And edit it. (Even if just to include the fact that you have posted your own attempt.)

If you are satisfied with the way the question looks and have sufficient reputation, you can cast your own reopen vote.

I already did cast the reopen vote.

Here I basically repeated the advice given in more detail in Help Center: What if I disagree with the closure of a question? How can I reopen it?.

Either way (edit within 5 days of putting on hold or reopen vote) puts your question into reopen review queue, where the users can decide whether or not it should be reopened.

Will do.

You should wait a bit until the reopen review is finished. When the question went through the reopen review, the review will be displayed on the timeline: math.stackexchange.com/posts/2256241/timeline

If it is still not reopened after the review and you still think it should be reopened, I can think of two reasonable places where to ask.

One is the dedicated thread on meta: Requests for Reopen & Undeletion Votes, etc. (volume 01/2015 - ) [current version]

The other one is CRUDE chatroom. But in either case, I think it is reasonable to wait on the result of the reopen review first.

IIRC there is some delay, but maybe 15 or 30 minutes after the reopen vote the question should appear in the queue: How long does it take for a question to appear in the reopen queue? (And it will take some more time until some users actually review it.)

Thank you for the information.

That's basically all advice I can think of regarding reopening questions.

That is more than enough information. I won't bother you any longer.

Maybe somebody around will notice your message, too and add some other suggestions.

I will add that the review for your question is here: math.stackexchange.com/review/reopen/1029795 It was aslready completed. And it is also diplsayed in the timeline: math.stackexchange.com/posts/2256241/timeline

So if you still think it should be reopened (and do not see other possibilities how to improve the question), maybe you can try other possibilities I have suggested.

Or maybe you can wait a bit to see whether somebody gives you some additional advice here in chat.

@RodrigodeAzevedo You are basically adding a rant in the post and then ask others to vote to reopen....

@JohnMa One of the close-voters also voted to keep the question closed. Then he reverted the edit you suggested, and I had to roll back to a previous version. There is vindictive pettiness at play here, since the user in question reverted other edits of mine in other people's questions.

@DanielFischer, @quid Dual accounts: here and here. Note both accounts are new, and both accounts use the same 9-digit username: 952011036. It doesn't look like the per day vote limit has been circumvented, but I suspect the weekly count or the monthly count of questions, at the rate at which the user is posting on each account, will exceed the max allowed

@amWhy Thanks. Looking now.

...in a week and/or a month. It could be that the user forgot their log in, but remembered the digits in their username?

Thanks, @DanielFischer !

@amWhy Thank you for spotting it.

@DanielFischer Just wondering if the mod team plans to seek a replacement, after Jyrki's resignation? (I'm not suggesting it should or shouldn't; and in any case, no one can replace Jyrki!). Perhaps, for now, we're in a "wait and see how things work out" mode?

@amWhy Exactly. We're waiting and seeing how things work out for a while before we make that decision.

@DanielFischer that makes sense!

We thought so too.

@DanielFischer Well, since you all thought like me, it's a good idea! :P

Probably. I wouldn't publish a proof of RH based on that reasoning, but as a heuristic it's not bad.

@DanielFischer hahahaha :D
