Dec 24, 2016 at 16:49 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @Zanna: I would be ok with that solution.
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:49 comment added Zanna Mod so I think what should happen, is that users should be notified when their question is deleted @FranckDernoncourt
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:47 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @Zanna: "If your question gets deleted, and you still have the problem, you can ask it anew (without it being marked a duplicate) and it is thus more likely to get an answer": they are two issues: 1) users are not notified when a question is deleted 2) questions older that 60 days that get deleted cannot even be retrieved by the user unless they have over 10k reputation points or have saved the links to the deleted questions (Wayback Machine may also help, but still, really not very convenient). It is not fun to have to write again the same question. It takes time.
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:46 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @Zanna: regarding the exploitation: Serial downvote: how to make it stop? Tired of having my questions deleted
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:40 comment added Zanna Mod But what do you mean by exploitation? If it's malicious behaviour, then it's about the user doing it, not the system. In the vast majority of cases, what's happening is that abandoned, poor quality questions are being cleaned up automatically, which is a good thing. If your question gets deleted, and you still have the problem, you can ask it anew (without it being marked a duplicate) and it is thus more likely to get an answer
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:39 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @Zanna: I think that's a different question. We are talking about 30 days here, and the impact of downvotes.
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:35 comment added Zanna Mod I agree with this comment here
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:34 comment added Mark Kirby @Zanna Sure but I don't think unanswerd question are bad necessarily, my concern is more for how open to exploitation this is, a single vote is just too low IMO.
Dec 24, 2016 at 16:32 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @Zanna: If the question is bad, shouldn't it has more than one downvote or be closed? Allowing one downvote to remove a question is pretty much the same as allowing one close vote to close the question: only mods or 1k-tag user may close a question with one close vote.

Dec 24, 2016 at 16:30 comment added Zanna Mod If the bar was any higher, we would have a LOT more bad, unanswered questions hanging around :(
