Hi, Based on how the users are given a number of votes which, until a topic is closed/archived they do not get back (unless they remove their cast vote themselves), I was thinking how perhaps having an additional option in the Topic Admin Actions could be beneficial. There is already functionality to _auto-close_ a topic for a specific date, in our specific case we might like to auto-close a topic when it reached a specific number of votes. This would then also return the user’s vote to them for use on a subsequent topic, just as closing/archiving a topic does. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/1/01e80fef9bf2bb75bc47cfcdf2dac43768b6e652.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/4/54a20c0b754241ddc39ec720f1db1885154f2a2c.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/5/95312c4510d8569affaffec6af9605cd1225e643.png) Just a thought… might be useful, would be to us… ---
