@ObsessiveFOSS :-) You can uptick comments. More importantly, people should know it's OK to choose not to comment when recommending deletion, if the reason is already sufficiently clear.

ObsessiveFOSS

OK.

aking1012

neat. you get to keep points on deleted questions \o/

ObsessiveFOSS

@aking1012 that never happened for me... :(

i meant if you answered one that later got deleted

ObsessiveFOSS

That's what I meant.

A question about chrome, now long gone.

Lost 60 rep.

aking1012

?! no idea

ObsessiveFOSS

Don't you dare serially-upvote me in pity. The system did what it did.

Also, a correction to "?! no idea": "‽ no idea".

@aking1012 When a question that has answers is deleted, reputation is only preserved for answers that have been around for 2+ months and have 3+ score.

neat something i didn't know until yesterday: ctl+alt+shift+arrow drags the active window with you to a different workspace

ObsessiveFOSS

Ah. My answer was around for only 2 weeks...

Eliah Kagan

@aking1012 Hmm... Was it publicly visible on the site for less than 60 days? Alternatively, was it before that policy was put in place?

aking1012

it was today, and it was visible for under 4 hours... i think the +6 got it in

Eliah Kagan

@aking1012 Oh. Yeah, the reputation would not be kept then. (Because the post was new.)

aking1012

8:40 PM
