I'm the second downvoter, based specifically on this recent question, which I believe is entirely appropriate for closure as a "how to get started" question with the wording and criteria as they currently stand: gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/195296/…

"In an ideal SE, only those with a certain number of points in a given tag should be able to nominate questions using that tag, for closure" - this actually already exists, but in the opposite direction. Gold tag badges give certain one-vote-close powers to holders, so the SE model is actually set up to help encourage faster, not slower, closure.

It helps to view closure as not being a slap-down, yes. The purpose of voting to close can certainly be viewed as helping the OP, either by saying "the answer you want is on this other question" or by helping them to reform their question into a manner that's more easily answerable on an SE site.

I think this is a case of requesting functionality that is not suitable for the intended purpose of comments. You shouldn't be making long first drafts of comments; they're not intended as permanent content.
