| Feb 10, 2019 at 12:01 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | "Not deleting" reasons, hypothesis: 1. You might be really convinced that the content is right (have three candidates of my own on SE). 2. In the heat of posts being visible on the homepage the 'punishers' (regular hi-rep users with convictions) will try to discipline anything unfit, and sometimes their actions will be seen as wrong (by some &OP; +sometimes they are!) 3. Downvotes over time are very rare. Observational guess: Old posts gain a few ups if good, and nothing if mediocre or bad, only really egregious get downs: with time chances improve that a negative net-score turns around. | |

Although I don't think details of the algorithm have been made public, it seems the intent is to make people improve poor questions/answers (or perhaps just not post them in the first place) rather than simply deleting them after they have been poorly received by SE communities. | |
| Feb 9, 2019 at 16:47 | comment | added | justCal | Yes, that was it. A question ban not a suspension. Good meta link. So deleting wasn't the issue itself, it just doesn't help to remove downvotes recieved. | |
| Feb 9, 2019 at 16:09 | comment | added | sempaiscuba Mod | @justCal Perhaps you were thinking of this question here on Meta? If so, this answer to a question on Meta:SE may help clear up any confusion. Note that "If a post was poorly-received (downvoted or closed), that will continue to count against your account even if the post is deleted"! | |
| Feb 9, 2019 at 15:11 | comment | added | justCal | It seems like I recall reading of a user who was suspended and part of the response as to the reason included self-deletion of too many answers raising some flag in the system, and actually being treated more harshly then downvotes themselves? | |
| Feb 9, 2019 at 2:49 | comment | added | sempaiscuba Mod | @T.E.D. Yet those types of answers are to be found on all the sites I'm a member of. The solution, of course, is to make sure that all those kind of answers are deleted. Right now, many aren't, and the only reason I can think of for the OP not deleting them themselves is the rep they're gaining from them. | |
| Feb 8, 2019 at 22:17 | comment | added | T.E.D. Mod | Its been a long time since I was low-rep enough to worry about a handful of downvotes. That being said, IMHO seeing my name next to a "-4" would be enough of a handslap to more than make up for the fact that it gained me 5 rep due to the one upvote I got. If I were instead a callous rep farmer, deleting one sentence vs. having my entire answer deleted along with the 5 rep it got me would be worth the trade-off. | |
