Originally, I too felt that it was worthwhile to explicitly explain why we close Goodbye threads in the Community Guidelines, but the community convinced me to remove that section from the proposed rule changes, and to address the issue using already-existing guidelines (typically trolling, fighting, harassment, discussing moderation, fabricated information - aka - people claiming to quit who actually do not, etc.) Since goodbye threads quickly devolve into fighting, insults, and abuse, it is best to close them after wishing the OP the best in the future.
I am saying the way you have it formatted, in the thread I quoted, not in the "Official" guidelines, 23 and 24 are not designated as "only well needed". You might know that in your head or said in in some other paragraph in a clarification post in another place, but as a person who comes here, quite possibly new, they see that there are TWO line-items left off the "Official Guidelines". They don't know why, they won't have any way to know until something like this occurs. Obviously this confusion is irritating you due to the rather abrasive response of yours earlier in this thread. Maybe making the Guidelines that appear in the header and those in the post linked match will solve the any future headaches you might have to deal with when this inevitably comes up.
But that's up to you. But I don't think people appreciate abrasive responses when the info out there is confusing and they are hoping to get clarification. (And it is as evident by the numerous thread and posts about it, no matter what you personally think).
