couldn't reopen question (229274) feel like a cheap retard, an
excellent explanation was given by sublime1.

Greetings Esoteric:

Currently, there is no way to tip a Researcher after a question has
been closed/expired or rated.  You are kind and gracious to want to
reward Sublime1-ga but you will have to post a new question addressed
to Sublime1 to be able to further compensate Sublime1.  Simply place
the phrase "For Sublime1-ga Only" as the question's subject line and
other Researchers will honor your request.

You may choose to ask a question for the amount you want Sublime1 to
have *or* you may choose to ask a $2.00 question and then tip Sublime1
whatever amount you wish.  For your reference, a Researcher receives
75% of the question fee.

I hope this clears the matter up for you and should you require any
clarification, please request it and I will be happy to respond.

Best regards,
journalist-ga
