I think 'turning away users for the sake of the "system"' is a very bold path to take. The should-be-own-question flag is the better of these two options IMO. That way the user learns the "system", and the site will continue to grow. If a new user has a genuine piece of information they want to share, yet are pushed away, censored, erased (whatever you want to call it) then soon there will be a small group of elites, and a large group of potential users that will no longer be interested in this SE.

| Jun 7, 2011 at 11:52 | comment | added | Stefano Palazzo Mod | On the first point: I think an option to convert answers into questions would work brilliantly in principle, but I suppose many of these answers will be very low quality, and we won't convert them after all (just a suspicion). | |
| Jun 7, 2011 at 11:48 | comment | added | Stefano Palazzo Mod | I really like your second point, but I currently use comments (before deleting) to essentially the same end ("welcome to AU, I've deleted this because [...]"). Rather than preventing moderators from commenting on deleted posts, maybe the comment field should pop open with a little reminder to leave a message. This might remind me to do it every time, whereas now I have to undelete the post first, if I forget to comment. | |
