| Aug 12, 2012 at 22:36 | comment | added | RobotHumans | @Gilles I agree. and up-ticked the comment. I was just making sure you understood the context of my CW answers. | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 22:29 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | It would be better to use delete votes instead. | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 22:28 | comment | added | RobotHumans | @Gilles, I believe you may have missed the part where some users are using downvotes on zero vote questions to get the system to auto-delete at UTC 00:00 | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 22:26 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | Delete votes have nothing to do with downvotes. The ability to vote to delete is sometimes related to the posts's score, but that is not in itself a reason to downvote. As for duplicates, most of them should be kept, not primarily for SEO but in order to be search fodder (i.e. they're kept for the sake of searchers, not for the sake of giving the site a better Google rank). | |
