[This question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/42409297/15498) was just dupe-hammer closed.

According to the notice at the bottom, it was marked as a duplicate by myself, Jon Skeet and CodeCaster.

Of course, that's not true. All three of us are gold badge holders in the C# tag. If just *one* of us had voted to close as duplicate it would have been marked as a duplicate and closed.

One can reasonably conclude that both I and Jon Skeet chose to close for *other reasons*. So, of the three close votes, two of them weren't dupe votes.

I would suggest that when the dupehammer is applied, only the names of those who have also suggested closing as a duplicate should be included in this message. If CodeCaster had voted first, our close votes would not have been possible and our names would not be included here.

Quite apart from anything else, I think it leaves the wrong feedback for the OP. The OP only seems to get the feedback "you should have searched better" - but two of us felt that there were *other* issues with this question, that the OP will not actually learn about and correct in later questions until they ask, in their now established style, a question that isn't a duplicate.
