This upvoted PSQ should be closed

@Did @amWhy @CarlMummert: Useless question with ridiculous answer.

And these are open for deletion: 1, 2.

@amWhy Yes, but I find this one even more impressive, although it now has two non-deleted answers.

@DanielFischer Wow!

PSQ, and, oh look! the usual suspects...

@XanderHenderson That same asker is a repeat PSQ generator, and sometimes was rewarded. This PSQ had 4 upvotes and 0 close-votes and 7 answers! And this one got 6 answers!

@Did @amWhy: Besides the above, this is open for deletion.

On the bright side, two or three of those answers are from relative newbies who maybe don't know better?

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Blacklisted username: How can we show that $\\sin x^2-1=\\tan^3x$ by Fuck you Jack D'Aurizio.lol on math.SE

@SmokeDetector Oooh, someone had a bad day!

I like the ".lol" at the end

If I get the answer to my question do I need to close it or something?

No.

@Matix No, best not to close it. If you find the answer very helpful, you can accept it. Or, if it is a recent post, to can wait because you may receive additional answers. And when you are satisfied, you can accept the most helpful of them (click on the grey $\checkmark$ to the left of the answer you'd like to accept. But keep your question!

If you get an answer to a question, you should consider clicking the "accept" button, but you should not attempt to close or delete your question

Ok

I originally read this marginal PSQ as "Time travel of $n$ people," which seemed much more intesting

This question (PSQ) needs one more close vote for closure

PSQ with two answers in two minutes.

oh! three answers in three minutes!

This question is ready for deletion

@XanderHenderson Argh! Lily's back at it. I've lost count of how many questions of hers have been deleted.

Heh

Is there any kind of consensus about what to do with a suggested edit like this one?

On the one hand, if I were to bother editing that question, those are probably the edits that I would make. On the other hand, the question needs to be closed, and no amount of editing will change that (unless the original questioner decides to improve the question).

Sigh...

@XanderHenderson Wow... it was quickly closed as a dupe!

Yay...

Gotta get me one of those shiny gold tag badges :)

I feel kind of bad for FDP, who clearly put in a lot of effort answer a question that didn't deserve it. :(

But we all make choices, I suppose

@XanderHenderson Yeah... But sometimes early-ish closures of questions, (or deletion of questions), if it happens enough to someone who answers a lot of those, may serve as a deterrent. (I wish!)

This PSQ answered by a usual suspect is in need of a final delete vote.
