| Sep 29, 2015 at 20:07 | comment | added | peterh | @EEAA Thank you, but as I know, deleted content can't be shown on the data SE, and even its metadata since only a short time. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:58 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | @peterh Be my guest. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:24 | comment | added | peterh | @Sven I didn't asked to show it to me, I suggest for you to see them. At least, see them. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:22 | comment | added | Sven Mod | @JennyD: Of course you are right. Forgot about the whole threading issues :) | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:21 | comment | added | peterh | @EEAA It is wonderful. I would suggest to get a list of the (deleted or not) questions closed as offtopic, and sort them by decreasing votecount. There is the content which should have been migrated, but somehow it didn't happen. But anyways if you try to save which seems good content, it is a very good deed. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:21 | comment | added | Jenny D | @Sven Of course knitting is on-topic. Especially when you're using multiple yarns, where you can run into all sorts of threading issues. (Badum-tish!) | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:20 | comment | added | Sven Mod | No. It's a waste of time to feed your conspiracy theories. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:18 | comment | added | peterh | @Sven You have access to the "deleted" (=made invisible) content of the site, could you sort it by decreasing votecount? Doing similarly with the closed questions doesn't make me happy (not only on the SF, nearly nowhere). | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:14 | comment | added | Sven Mod | Again: Questions with answers will not be deleted, except they are really insanely bad or spammy. Period. This was never different and will not be different. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:13 | comment | added | peterh | @Sven To me, it is a very strong argument, because I've seen too many good and useful content waiting its removal. Because 10k- users don't even know, what is missing, thus you can't want from them to trust the deletion policy, especially if the closing policy is also highly problematic from many viewpoints. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:10 | comment | added | Sven Mod | Questions with an answer will not be autodeleted, and "what about another mod in a few years" is beyond a straw mans argument. With that mindset, we would need to accept every question, because maybe 10 years from now, the community magically decides that knitting has become on topic. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:08 | comment | added | peterh | @Sven Closed questions will be deleted with time. It shouldn't be so, but it is how things are going. Maybe you won't delete it now, but can you guarantee it for the mods of the future in the next 10 years? "It was old and offtopic, so I deleted it" - so will sound the justification. And no power on the Earth will avoid this. 10k- users won't even know, what had they lost. We don't know, what have the site already lost. The damaged closing/delete policy is currently to strongest argument for me to work for the 10k. I want to see, what is lost. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:04 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | Thank you, @Sven. I was just about to write another comment addressing that. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:01 | comment | added | Sven Mod | Can you please try to explain to me how you come to the conclusion that closing an old question that is now off-topic is "destroying" content? It is just a strong sign for everybody that we don't see this question as topical anymore and prevents people from claiming "but this wasn't closed" on a six year old question. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:01 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | We've said it before, and I'll say it again: "We don't care about crappy, off-topic content." If someone comes and asks a well-researched, useful, but off-topic question, by all means, I'll migrate it. In 99% of the cases, though, people that can't be bothered to understand topicality here also don't take the time to write a good question. We don't migrate crap, so the question get closed and eventually auto-deleted. | |
