| Sep 19 at 15:53 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Makyen Supposedly the question covers this issue too (since the other question was considered a duplicate). A migration doesn't indicate that someone is not asking good questions. Some times there is heavy handed (unwarranted) moderation | |

Elaborating

| Sep 18 at 16:02 | comment | added | Makyen | @SonictheAnonymousHedgehog I don't see how that context matters for the question that's actually asked here. It does matter for how the user feels, and how they feel is something we care about as humans, but that's not the question which was asked. In addition, that context isn't anywhere in the question, in any revision, nor should it be in the question, because, again, that's not what the question is asking about. | |

| Sep 18 at 15:13 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | @Makyen To add context, the author had one of their questions migrated by a moderator even though it wasn't a bad fit for the site it was asked on because they believed it would be a better fit for another site, despite that migration going explicitly against the guidance that migrations are reserved for cases where the question is a bad fit for its origin site. Because of that experience, the author may be under the impression that your definition isn't the case. | |
| Sep 18 at 1:08 | comment | added | Makyen | Why wouldn't migrated questions be counted for the question ban? That the question was migrated still indicates that the user is not asking good questions for that site. The question ban exists to protect the site and other users from users who repeatedly post questions which are not well received (i.e., who expend the site's limited curation resources without lasting benefit to that site). A migrated question is, by definition, not well received on the original site. Why should the system not count such a question as one that wasn't well received? | |

Trying to make clear my point

| Sep 17 at 21:23 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | @RobertLongson While specifics of the ban aren't public, whether or not something impacts the ban and how it does (positively or negatively) is public information. For example, the fact that if a question is deleted more than 30 days after being asked then it doesn't count as deleted for the purposes of the ban is public. This question is asking purely about said public information. | |

| Sep 17 at 19:55 | comment | added | Catija | Honestly, as someone who generally knows how a Q-ban works more than most, I can't honestly say that I know the answer to whether or not migrated questions are considered in the algorithm. I've tried to clean up the question somewhat - hopefully it still covers what you're trying to say. | |

Tried to clean up the question to make more sense

| Sep 17 at 18:11 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @RobertLongson I didn't ask how the question ban algorithm works (I am not interested in the entire algorithm but the definition of a variable in it). I have seen when I ask question that my questions have been poorly received and the site no longer accepts questions or that some questions have been poorly received so I should take care because more poorly received question may inhibit me from asking further questions (it doesn't care if it was actually poorly received it just counts them against me). If the question is unacceptable we are left with "Does poorly received include migrated away" | |
| Sep 17 at 18:03 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @πάνταῥεῖ I am asking about the "donor" site not the "recipient". I am asking about the site it was migrated away from. How does it count there? | |
| Sep 17 at 17:57 | comment | added | Robert Longson | The question ban algorithm is not public so you won't get an answer to anything about how the ban works. If you remove any mention of how the question ban works is there anything left of this question? | |
| Sep 17 at 17:41 | comment | added | πάντα ῥεῖ | AFAIK migrated questions start like a new question at the SE site they were migrated to. So any reputation loss that could contribute for a question ban at the originally posted site should be regained, and not count for it. Not sure what about flags received though. | |
