Should we allow del-pls requests on non-duplicate closed questions that would eventually be fetched by the Roomba? #23

Closed Aralun closed 7 years ago

Aralun commented 7 years ago

The Roomba has a criteria for closed questions:

RemoveAbandonedClosed: If the question was closed more than 9 days ago, and ...

  • not closed as a duplicate
  • has a score of 0 or less
  • is not locked
  • has no answers with a score > 0
  • has no accepted answer
  • has no pending reopen votes
  • has not been edited in the past 9 days

Is it worth enforcing any kind of rule on del-pls requests on this subset of questions?

Personal opinion: meh (so yes, by default). Up to users to decide where they spend their delete votes on. del-pls should be regulated like cv-pls (not spamming, warranted, etc.), and even more so: no del-pls on questions/answers that cannot be deleted. After that... everyone is grown-up enough to do what they want with their votes. You can always ignore them if you don't want to vote yourself. Sure it may be a bit useless, but it's not really doing any harm.

Personal opinion: no. they clutter the room of the stack overflow close vote reviewers and also many of them are posted in such a way that is offensive/rude, not even taking into consideration how they would appear to meta/outsiders.

Sometimes, waiting 10 days doesn't really cut it. While the question isn't really bad, it's bad enough to warrant some delete votes.

I'd be opposed to forbidding them. Just don't spam'm.

I think banning them is an unnecessary censure, there's more important things to worry about censuring. The room isn't spammed with del-pls requests, so I see not problem with it. I don't use all my delete votes in a day, in fact I'll frequently only use my moderation tools based on requests from SOCVR.

Tyler-H commented 7 years ago

@Cerbrus Normally this would be OK but the vast majority of del-pls requests come from one or two users, and they make up a disproportionate amount of those users' total posts/requests. If we adopted some form of "don't spam them" or "post them less frequently", then in effect we'd basically be censuring one or two particular users.

There is nothing wrong with allowing them. It might be a "waste" for those people to use their votes on something that would be deleted anyways, but so far there has been no abuse from it. The question that matters is "should this be deleted right now?". These requests do not do any harm to the room.
