Grant more close votes for close reviewers

Question

Based upon a recent answer^{1, 2} to a previous question of mine, I'd like to re-visit an older request.

Please give all close voters³ on Programmers 50 votes instead of the standard 24⁴.

Why?

1. All of the original reasons that were laid out before still hold.

2. New users to the site end up with a poor impression regarding what is on-topic for the site when off-topic questions are not cleared out quickly. The more quickly we can patch up the broken windows, the more favorable Programmers and StackExchange appear to new visitors.

3. The stats show that our active close voters regularly run out of votes and this is impacting their ability to help provide community moderation.

4. The influx of low quality questions from {bans at SO | ignorance of SO} continues to increase.

5. Items like the Structured Tag Cleanup Initiative put a strain on the community when they are trying to balance closing off incoming low quality questions as well as cleaning up old NPR-style low quality questions.

6. This version of the request is much easier to implement as it's already part of the per-site configuration setting and doesn't require a code change.

7. More close votes means being able to migrate questions more quickly. That in turn cuts down on extra work created for mods when they have to merge cross-posted questions.

¹ _{Finally, if we were going to increase the limit, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to just raise it for 10k users. From a very practical standpoint, changing it for everyone is a site setting, but changing it for users over 10k would require a code change. For another, the setting has already been raised to 50 for 3k+ users on SO, Math, Super User, Ubuntu, and Server Fault without any particular problems. I'd suggest removing that portion of the feature request that needlessly confuses matters}

^{3 _{By "Close Voters", I mean anyone who has earned at least 3k rep on the site.}}

4 _{My assumption is that the number of allowed votes in the close review queue increases proportionately, but if not, I'll make a separate request.}
