I think the problem is in the language of the status. "Closed" is not final, but it does sound like it, and as a new user who is seeking an answer, it can be _received_ as affronting.

Can we introduce different wording for it, like "Locked", or "Needs refinement"?

Either this, or an explaination of the language [like this](https://software.codidact.com/posts/291064/291068#answer-291068) belongs in [the Software FAQ](https://software.codidact.com/help/faq), or [the global Codidact FAQ](https://www.codidact.com/FAQ) (link which is in the Software FAQ... 404 for me).
