<p>I've long thought we ought to close questions faster and grumbled that the burden on the small number of active, high-rep users with close-vote privileges was too high. I'd also support some other changes that reduce this burden (e.g. reducing the points threshold for close-vote privileges a bit, increasing users' daily limit of votes), but 3-vote closure has fewer obvious downsides than most other possibilities. I've voted more than usual lately and felt like those votes were at least a bit more useful. I have no idea how frequently the questions I voted on previously would get stuck on 3 or 4 votes, but it did happen. It was a mild but unnecessary annoyance that made the site worse and I'm happy to experience it less.</p>
<p>Please keep the 3 vote threshold!</p>
