| Oct 16, 2017 at 2:42 | comment | added | Euan M | @crush what about duplicates which are of questions which themselves have technically correct but unintelligible answers? Or an inappropriate question text? Or the wrong meta-information? | |
| Dec 30, 2014 at 1:03 | comment | added | mmyers | @DominatorX: 1. Nobody is forced to do anything, so I guess the answer is yes. 2. If moderators decline to delete a question, it is certainly not in any attempt to hurt someone's reputation score. 3. If a closed question has a negative score, non-moderators with enough reputation can vote to delete it. 4. Upvotes are worth more than downvotes and it's not that easy to end up with net negative reputation from a post. I see you're +13 from the post in question. | |
| Dec 29, 2014 at 16:29 | comment | added | unbindall | I accidentally posted a duplicate question (which I cannot delete). According to the user who marked my question as a duplicate, moderators are allowed to leave my question open to collect down-votes. Is this allowed? | |

| Jan 31, 2014 at 20:14 | comment | added | crush | What about duplicates that don't offer anything new in their topic or content that doesn't already exist in another duplicate? | |
