I agree that automatic deletion<sup>1)</sup> would be a useful way to reduce clutter and manual moderation. I would propose implementing something along the lines of the draft below. 

<sup>1)</sup> Deleted as in "not displayed on the site" - the technical definition on what gets archived and what gets deleted from the actual DB is a discussion for another post. 

---

All posts get automatically deleted after 1 month since the last edit of any question/answer present, if they fulfil any of the following:

- Closed posts without answers.
- Closed posts where both the question and all answers have negative score.
- Questions with a negative score of -3 or more that have no answers, or where all answers also have a negative score of at least -3.

All the details can obviously get fine-tuned and more rules can be added as we come up with them.
