Question: I've had a suspicion for a while that there are simply not enough active users (or users with enough rep) on Fitness.SE to pass a community close vote.

It looks like I might be correct. [Shog9](https://fitness.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/809/2019-a-year-in-moderation)'s previous post shows the statistic:

```
                 Action                  Moderators Community¹
---------------------------------------- ---------- ----------
Questions closed                                261          5

```

Obviously we can't compare Fitness.SE to Stack Overflow but the percentage is quite different:

```
                  Action                  Moderators Community¹
----------------------------------------- ---------- ----------
Questions closed                              33,862    306,210

```

Personally, I have voted to close questions before. Questions that were so blatantly off-topic that I didn't have to think twice. They've hung up around 3 or 4 close votes before a mod either gives the 5th vote or closes it at 4.

Would it be worthwhile to reduce the required number of close votes on Fitness?

Answer: 
Change to 3
===========

Yes, I think the threshold should be lowered to 3 votes to close.
No Change
=========

Keep the close threshold at 5 votes.
