Can someone explain to me why my question was closed: Troubleshooting Magento 1.9.2.4 with PHP 7

The linked answer doesn't help anyone resolve the issue I outlined and the selected "answer" isn't even for the right version of Magento.

People aren't reading, they are just clicking to close votes. If I look at the history of the people who voted to close (I wont link accounts) but the action is always Close, Close, Close.

I voted to re-open but quite frankly I am getting fed up.

We're very sorry that this keeps happening. We're working hard to combat this problem on Magento.SE.

The question (which was linked as a duplicate) was removed from the comment history. This is the question which was incorrectly marked as a duplicate:

Is Magento ready for PHP 7?

This question is problematic and has been the focus of a number of Magento / PHP7 false duplicates. The close votes tend to pile on, especially quickly when it comes to "duplicate" questions - and so we're actively monitoring for this.

We're watching Meta closely - and Marius caught this very quickly:

From Marius in his reopen:

This is not a duplicate - people can't read! Please remove this flag as it will actually be incorrectly closed. Others have had this issue and it has nothing to do with the link provided.

A way forward

Just so you know this is a problem I've taken upon myself to drive the community and moderator team to resolving. I have opened many meta threads to address just this issue. Here is a blog by Fabian recapping our MageStackDay panel:

And here's the panel discussion when I expanded on my thoughts that as a community we need to do better on Magento.SE:
