  • In response to some of the comments & answers, Some Other sites have two very different "question goes inactive" statuses:
  • * Deleted - This is what I am talking about here. The question is basically "gone" except for viewing by Author, Moderators and very high privilege users. This is for hate/spam/gibberish.
  • * Closed - This is the "maybe you can make it better" status. Not inherently bad, just not good enough. This is for duplicate/poor quality/off-topic. There is hope it can be fixed (explanation of why it isn't a duplicate, improve content and formatting, focus to be more on-topic).
  • As far as I am concerned, Deleted questions really need no new activity at all. *Possibly* comments by Author/Moderators/high-privilege-users but that is it. Closed questions, on the other hand, could have much more activity, particularly including edits to improve the question.
