| Sep 13, 2014 at 16:53 | comment | added | Braiam | @Seth I'm taking the action that will ultimately rise the general quality of the site, deleting the bad question along with the answer to a bad question. What are you doing? | |
| Sep 13, 2014 at 16:37 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @Braiam So now you are calling all those answers "trash"? My my. | |
| Sep 13, 2014 at 16:37 | comment | added | Braiam | @Seth seriously, why do we keep trash around just because someone might eat it later? If you consider that there are good answers just fix the question, that's the sane thing to do. Such questions will only attract more questions like that, because, "hey, even if I ask a bad question I will get answers, what is this troll talking about quality?" | |
| Sep 13, 2014 at 16:17 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @Braiam No, it is lost. First, the user cannot access the post unless they have 10k (it might even require the exact link, not sure) second, if they reposted it, you would delete it! | |
| Sep 13, 2014 at 16:06 | comment | added | Braiam | @Seth the user can and could repost the same content (answer) again. Nothing is lost. | |
| Sep 13, 2014 at 15:43 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @Braiam No, the content is lost, for all intents and purposes. You need the exact link to the question and 10k rep to view it. | |
| Sep 13, 2014 at 15:29 | comment | added | Braiam | "Why lose good content?" the content isn't lost, it can be perfectly reproduced in another more fitting question. Good answers don't prevent bad questions to be deleted, if the answer is really good, either fix the question, or ask another with the same answer. | |
