adding "closed" to topic title does not close it? (answered)

Testers were still able to apply after I closed the call by adding Closed to the title, is there any special format, like all lowercase or did I do something wrong? I felt bad because I already had more testers than I originally thought I would when I closed it.

Would it be possible to add a close option in the topic control drop down for the author of the topic?

Many thanks
Suzy

adding “closed” to a tester call will alert a leader to come close it manually, only leaders and the team can close a topic.
But if it is getting bad, you can edit your post to remove the link to the testing pattern.
Hope that helps :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m sorry, adding “closed” to any title, not just a tester call will alert them.
I edited the title and tags for you, a leader should close this and your tester call soon. :blush:

Thank you so much for the clarification. I still think that we should be able to close our own posts though, seems like extra work for the leaders for no go reason.

I think the community feed would turn into a giant trash heap if that were the case, I think it’s better that you have to think about it before you make a post, because you can’t take it back.
And I think they have a search and mass action function to make a clean sweep several times a day.

Yeah, I see your point. Maybe just for testing calls then. I don’t know.

If you add ‘closed’ in the title of a tester call the topic isn’t going to close, but no one can apply anymore

Well that’s not what happened because two more people applied after I changed it :confused: but I did put Closed instead of closed, hence my question about whether it was case sensitive

It shouldn’t be. I just tried and it doesn’t go trough so you’re good

Can you please check my post? I don’t know if it tracks those things? But I ‘Closed:’ the post first, then accepted the five testers then within 30mins or so 2 more people had applied :frowning:

Hi!
Your test link is gone now so no one should be able to apply.
