| Jun 12, 2016 at 22:45 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Not just the accept vote, but also OP's upvotes on any answers (so closed, off-topic questions can be deleted more easily; effectively "unasked"). In parallel, for similar reasons, a priv at 50 (or whatever threshold) to "upvote questions of 1-rep users". On EL&U, we get a large population of ESL students, effectively as silent lurkers who upvote off-topic questions from 1-rep users (i.e. newbies unaware of ELL.se), as well as any (still off-topic) answers they attract. Which attracts even more of the same. Quite frustrating. | |
