| Jun 12, 2012 at 9:39 | comment | added | tombull89 | I remember a while back that there was a major screw-up and a lot of MSO questions were created. The problem was sorted very quicky and all the bug reports were deleted. This caused a bit of backlash because the community wanted to know what happened and it was almost like it was being covered up. As long as one question is kept viewable by the general public for people to read following the fallout, that should be fine, and then it can be deleted a week after. | |

| Jun 12, 2012 at 9:16 | comment | added | GUI Junkie | @RobertHarvey, I'm sure that's the case, but you either put a notification somewhere stating that you are working on it, or you keep the original bug report around for some time. | |
| Jun 12, 2012 at 7:51 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Arjan it was also discussed in length here | |
| Jun 12, 2012 at 6:38 | comment | added | Arjan | Sure we're still talking about it, Robert. The thing is not resolved for everybody, is it? Nobody is blaming Kevin for the bug, of course. Folks are just trying to be helpful by posting screenshots et al. By the way, @animuson, I've seen it happen before, but surely cannot find those examples today. | |

I wouldn't worry about it. Kevin Montrose fat-fingered a while loop several hours ago, and here we are still talking about it.

| Jun 12, 2012 at 6:32 | comment | added | Arjan | Also, @Robert, I could not find any duplicate that has not been closed or tagged completed, while apparently folks are still seeing this. How are they supposed to find the duplicates themselves then? | |
| Jun 12, 2012 at 6:29 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | To answer your question generally, no. This actually rarely occurs. Most all questions which get deleted quickly here are off-topic people-avoiding-question-bans questions about programming. There are special circumstances on occasion though. | |
| Jun 12, 2012 at 6:29 | comment | added | Arjan | Yes, It took me a long time to find another question that I saw 10 hours ago. Only when I peeked into my browser history I realized I was not going insane. I saw about 5 of those, @Robert, and I knew balpha commented on this very one. | |
| Jun 12, 2012 at 6:27 | comment | added | user102937 | Aw, c'mon. Every Stack Overflow registered user who logged in yesterday got a hundred or so of these messages. SE knew about it ten seconds after it happened. We closed and deleted a couple of duplicates just like yours, shortly thereafter. | |
