@Sabre long story short, that's one of the most sensitive pain point, where many very active and veteran users are on one side, trying to keep Stack Overflow high quality, and on the other side the management, who does try to help the new users in various ways. It's all out of my paygrade and I'm on the fence about it, if you have time, jump into Meta Stack Overflow and follow the rabbit hole.

Explanation of closed posts
@Sabre it's a known problem on Stack Overflow. Many high rep users are very "trigger happy" and delete closed questions quickly, never giving chance for editing. But please take this to Meta Stack Overflow, and expect lots of downvotes and negative comments if you choose to do that. :/

@yagmoth555 no it was deleted by three ordinary users, two hours after being asked. Need 10k on SO to see it, Roomba deletes only after a while, not couple of hours.

Abrupt change in moderation staff?
@Reaces comments are meant to be temporary, their purpose is to make the post better. As far as I can see it worked here, the answer makes lots of sense in my opinion, so no need to go over its comments. I must admit, I don't envy Shog... Managing the moderators is surely not an easy task.

Prevent editing a closed question from it being bumped to front page.
sounds good, however looks like it won't go through. :/
