I have recently noticed what, to me, is a pretty irking trend in the tag I contribute to most often (algebraic geometry). It seems to me that there is a contingent of 'serial closers' who insist on closing questions despite those questions having (at least from my perspective) non-trivial academic merit. What bothers me the most is these 'serial closers' seemingly have zero knowledge about the threads they condemn—or, more accurately, essentially have never contributed to answering questions in the relevant tag.
Is it possible to restrict people's moderation abilities largely to certain pre-approved tags where, of course, pre-approval should be related to one's contribution to those tags? This is perhaps not tenable given the size of this website/nicheness of some tags, but I feel like something should be done.
EDIT: When I wrote the above(/the previous edits) I was frustrated, and consequently was fairly pompous and overly accusatory. I apologize for that. My main concern is for students who can't get their legitimate questions answered because of non-optimal procedures for closing questions. I hope that the tone of my question doesn't distract the reader from this.
