Jul 1, 2014 at 0:30 comment added Kaj Hansen @BillDubuque, The other day, I was trying to find a detailed response I typed up from about a month ago. I put a LOT of time into it, and it took at least half an hour to LaTeX. It garnered 1 or maybe 2 upvotes. I noticed yesterday that, after clicking "show rep from deleted answers" that the answer had since received downvotes long after it was posted, allowing the entire thread to be deleted. Needless to say, I wasn't happy. Point being, I completely agree with you.

Jun 15, 2014 at 17:42 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod @Bill: I knew that you are going to make this comment. The moment I started typing my comment, I knew you are bound to write yours and I already knew what its content would be, before seeing you even left me a reply. I have zero intentions of arguing about this, which is why I haven't brought this up before. I did spend the last month or two thinking about this behavior, and I came to the conclusion that while it does annoy me from time to time, I don't have that big of a problem with this particular behavior for various reasons I'm too lazy to begin writing down here.
Jun 15, 2014 at 15:57 comment added Bill Dubuque @Asaf I see a big problem with this behavior. It means that users who spent their time composing answers to questions have their answers deleted simply because some users did not like the question (e.g. missing context). These answers may have been helpful to many future readers. Further, it may serve to alienate users whose answers were deleted in this manner. It is especially problematic that normal users cannot vote to undelete. Using downvoting in this manner to trigger an irreversible deletion is imo serious abuse of downvoting

Jun 15, 2014 at 12:59 comment added user642796 Mod @draks... Your answer (actually, everything in that question) dates back to July 2012. From what I can tell, the missing 10 points is essentially what Asaf describes: your answer was downvoted bringing it to +1/-1 (net 0 score). Another answer was also downvoted to the same effect, and then the question fit one of the criteria for automatic deletion, which happened soon after.
Jun 15, 2014 at 11:57 comment added draks ... @ArthurFischer yes a link to this deleted question: math.stackexchange.com/questions/174572/… but I can't remember that I posted something there... gimme 330 reps then I can...
Jun 15, 2014 at 9:24 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod It's not a bug, it's a feature. It's a feature which allows a single user to irreversibly delete a thread... (I have no complaints about this feature though, even if it is a bit annoying to be on the receiving end of it.)
