| Sep 7, 2013 at 16:12 | comment | added | James | I was recently answering a HUGE question with lots of code, many pointers to make in the answer relating to the question. However, after typing for 10 mins and still going the "question is closed" appeared at the top. There's probs no ideal resolve, as such I sucked it up and moved on, but I have to admit it was very frustrating to be spending a large chunk of my own time to help someone greatly (and others and Stack considering the contents of the answer) only to have all that thrown away. Again, not sure of a resolve. It happens to me so little I've not even considered any ideas... | |
| Sep 1, 2013 at 6:56 | comment | added | Fluffeh | I have recently come back after a decent absence and answered two questions only to have them deleted seconds after the OP fixed their problem. It's annoying and downright rude. Can we do anything to stop this happening, I doubt anyone wants to spend time answering soemthing well to have it deleted (EG stackoverflow.com/questions/18555897/…) | |
| Aug 14, 2010 at 17:05 | comment | added | anovstrup | Hmm, maybe it shouldn't be possible to delete a question with any answers until some time has passed to allow upvotes. In this case, the question had only been up for ~19 minutes, and my answer was probably submitted less than a minute before the question was deleted. I don't know if the OP even knew an answer was submitted. | |
