| Oct 25, 2017 at 10:35 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @terdon Thanks for the info. Personally I'm not at all worried about it, one way or the other, for this question. However, if the system hadn't cleared the delete vote, I would actually consider that a bug, since delete votes don't expire on their own. Even when a question's close reason is changed, that may reflect that there was something wrong with its previous closure and thus with the process that led to the delete votes. In this case the closure wasn't wrong at all, just confusing, but the system has no way to know that, so I think it's actually a good thing that it behaves this way. | |
| Oct 25, 2017 at 10:30 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @muru (and Eliah) yes, it does seem to have cleared the delete vote. Sorry about that, I wasn't aware that it would do so. There was one delete vote, if I remember correctly (for some reason, I can't see any in the timeline). Is this a problem? I don't see much benefit in deleting, really. It's old and it's closed, after all. | |
| Oct 25, 2017 at 10:25 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @terdon To clarify what muru is asking (and I am curious also): we don't know if the delete votes are cleared or not because one can only view delete votes on posts one is permitted to vote to delete (or undelete), but even high-rep non-moderators cannot vote to delete a question with positive score whose current closure is recent. | |
