| Jul 28, 2017 at 18:08 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @Zanna if does get un-deleted due to an anomaly, it would behoove me to answer it, so I had better remember to check up on this one periodically. | |
| Jul 28, 2017 at 18:04 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @WinEunuuchs2Unix it still takes 3 votes, and as far as I can tell only a handful of people look at the deletion page in the 10k tools anyway :S If I actually want to undelete something, I reach out to people to vote; stuff won't just get undeleted automatically. However, I don't think it would be bad or unreasonable to undelete that question, it's just not something we normally do | |
| Jul 28, 2017 at 17:57 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @Zanna yeah I thought the same and regretted my quick fore-finger click to un-delete. Which made me wish I didn't have the option for that particular type of question and led to this meta question. Thank you for another stereotypical thorough Zanna answer though :) | |
| Jul 28, 2017 at 17:32 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @WinEunuuchs2Unix yeah that's true. I've never voted to undelete a question in this situation. OP probably found the answer themselves | |
| Jul 28, 2017 at 16:05 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | I've accepted your answer but... If a user posts a question, it has no answers or comments, and deletes the question in 18 minutes, it "feels wrong" for others to un-delete it. If it is an interesting question someone else could rewrite it and answer it as their own question. | |

| Jul 28, 2017 at 9:52 | comment | added | David Foerster | There's a rate limit on self-deletion in relation to up-voted posts, so that new users and trolls don't go around making new questions that keep getting closed, just to delete and the recreate them. | |
