Also note that for questions that have been closed for a few days, 10k+ users can vote to delete, even if scores are positive. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 19:17 | comment | added | MJD | This is a very important question. Many users may not be aware that some users have been abusing the site's mechanisms to delete many questions and answers. They downvote the question and then when it has a negative score, delete it, along with its answers, even when the answers (and often the original question) was upvoted. In my opinion, this is the most important issue currently facing the moderation team. | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 7:14 | comment | added | quid | In my opinion the question would be more interesting if it were not just to ask about "your opinion" but rather what if anything a candidate thinks they can/will do or what could/should be done regarding the matter, especially in relation to their potential future role. (Sorry for the double post, but the list is long so I handle it locally.) | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 4:27 | comment | added | Jonas Meyer | Thanks for clarifying, and I agree that this is good as essentially one question. | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 4:25 | comment | added | Brian M. Scott | @Jonas: I was thinking specifically of the former when I wrote the question, but I can imagine the distinction making a difference to some people, so I’ve modified the question to ask about both. (I think that it still qualifies as essentially one question.) | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 4:13 | comment | added | Jonas Meyer | I'm not clear on the distinction between "force deletion" and "delete", if there is one. Is the former referring only to cases in which posts are downvoted in part to help the autodelete process apply to the question? Or does it also include direct votes to delete the questions by 10k+ users? | |
