| Feb 17, 2014 at 18:30 | comment | added | Shog9 | Duplicates are excluded from this, @Ian. They can be removed via other "abandoned question" scripts, but those tend to be predicated even more heavily on "no one is using this" criteria. | |
| Feb 17, 2014 at 18:20 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | When a question is closed as a duplicate but it gets views from Google, it is still useful as it point people to the questions that has the answers. | |
| Feb 17, 2014 at 18:19 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | I have seen a few questions in the close review queue that should be closed, does not have an up vote, but does have a very useful link in a comment. The questions asker has thanked the person that left the comment, but can’t up vote it as it is a comment. | |

| Apr 27, 2013 at 19:35 | comment | added | Shog9 | @James: you can still edit closed questions and vote on them (including voting to re-open). But yeah, a good many closed questions are abandoned. | |
| Apr 27, 2013 at 19:31 | comment | added | Jim G. | +1: Bravo! And I definitely welcome the day when you implement "Improved oversight for deletion." I've definitely seen people abuse their delete vote privileges. | |
| Apr 26, 2013 at 6:07 | comment | added | JamesTheAwesomeDude | Wait, about the "closed and abandoned" part - doesn't closing a question force it to become de facto abadoned? It's awfully hard to have your question become de-abandoned if there's no way for anyone to answer it. :/ | |

| Mar 28, 2013 at 16:42 | comment | added | Shog9 | Currently behaves this way for comments left by moderators immediately prior to deletion. Might be worth expanding that, but not as part of this change - the whole point is to try and slow down the deletion of active stuff to where it's not necessary under normal circumstances (moderator deletion can often be quick for various legit reasons, hence the allowance for pre-deletion comment notifications). @Rachel | |
| Mar 28, 2013 at 15:49 | comment | added | Rachel | If you do allow users to view deleted questions if they have the link, will you be leaving comments from deleted posts in their Inbox or on the Responses tab in their profile? I know there have been times when I open/close my inbox without clicking on a message (usually because I clicked on a different notification, or clicked too fast and closed it by accident), and then when I open it again the comment on the deleted post is gone | |
| Mar 26, 2013 at 16:15 | comment | added | Shog9 | It's creation date, @Rachel - that said, you'll notice that I cut it off about three months ago; as you say, the skew is pretty noticeable otherwise: once you hit mid-February, you start to see the effect of the existing automatic deletion: i.sstatic.net/OsQOy.png | |
| Mar 26, 2013 at 16:00 | comment | added | mmyers | @LanceRoberts: The question I linked had no flags and was closed as TL, so it couldn't be the one you're thinking of. But before that, Eric Lippert hadn't had an answer deleted since August. And the only flag I see in your recent history about close reasons was on a rather poor PHP question. I'm not saying that things don't sometimes get deleted too easily (far from it), but maybe a better example is in order. | |

| Mar 26, 2013 at 14:44 | comment | added | Rachel | Does your graph use the DatePosted or the DateClosed/DateDeleted? If its the first, it may be skewed a bit because older posts have had a much longer period of time to accumulate delete votes. I noticed this discrepancy when I was writing queries to look at Close trends for Programmers.SE, and the two graphs look quite a bit different. | |

| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:35 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @mmeyers, I'm only 9k on SO, so I can't see it yet. Robert is right that is wasn't legendary, but I thought it was good, so no reason to delete the question which I had flagged to change to a 'too localized' close reason from NARQ. Makes me not want to flag for close reason changes again. | |
| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:29 | comment | added | user102937 | It's a good answer, but not a legendary one, and certainly not epic enough to warrant preservation of such a highly localized question. | |
| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:28 | comment | added | mmyers | @LanceRoberts: Referring to this? It's the most recent deleted Eric Lippert answer. | |
| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:28 | comment | added | user102937 | @ben: If automated deletion takes of the lion's share of deletions, the remaining use cases where something really needs to get deleted can probably be handled adequately with moderator flags. | |
| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:25 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | So long as the roomba doesn't achieve self-awareness... | |
| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:22 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | Are you then proposing to restrict the 20k+ ability to delete immediately? I know it can be abused but it's really useful on ocassion. | |
| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:21 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | For example, a question was deleted today that had a good Eric Lippert answer, gone forever now. | |

| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:20 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | I agree that there are plenty of closed questions that could be deleted, but it's a subset, not the whole. | |

| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:15 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | Unless you're going to improve every single question that gets closed, then that's not entirely true @LanceRoberts Either way, they're not advocating deleting good content, so I don't see what your issue with the proposal is | |
| Mar 25, 2013 at 23:12 | comment | added | user102937 | @LanceRoberts: It isn't, but there's really no point in keeping questions around that have no hope of rehabilitation. | |

| Mar 25, 2013 at 22:39 | comment | added | Shog9 | Whatever the reason, it's certainly not subconscious desire to put readers to sleep before they get to the punchline. I guarantee it. | |
