Allow users to mark their own posts as "Closed"

When realising that their post actually doesn't make much sense, the only option users have to get rid of it is deleting the post. This is not optimal, since then other users might be submitting that again even though it was posted before!
It'd be great if users could close their own posts.

Please approve. It wastes staff time having to read through posts that should already be closed, instead of focusing on the important ones. Even a 'request to close' button, as mentioned already, would help. Anything is better than then time being wasted.
I have a few posts on another website using Canny with heaps of comments, already a solution, and a comment to close the post, yet it's still open months later with people commenting. It's not needed. My goodness.

It could be nice to allow users to mark posts as "complete" or a different status like "marked as solution" as it exists in some other platforms. Sometimes users answer each other and they can be independent in helping each other. And as an admin I won't have to check it myself.

Is there any progress?
This might be really useful since we sometimes have requests that are only questions that should be easy to close by the user after answering the question.

Yes! A “Submit and close” button in the reply box would be nice. Just like GitHub’s “Close and comment” next to “Close”.
