Don't throw away all votes when a user is deleted
Full disclosure... I lost 410 Rep on SO the other day due to a deleted user.
I fully agree with the arguments made above. If the deleted votes are the result of an account merge, then it makes total s …

I'd just like to point out that I alone prophesied that this sort of thing could happen months ago in a post on uservoice.
Alas, no one listened, and now you have only yourselves to blame! Oh, the ho …

Please add a way to 'bump' questions back to the front page
I've noticed quite a few questions cropping up on MetaSO (here, here, and here, for example) concerning the desire to increase visibility for old questions that may not have any answers, or just not e …

The top users page and profile tag list: one or both seems wrong
As has been well-documented already (here and here, for example), the top users page for a tag will usually show fewer total answers than you've actually given for that tag since it doesn't count answ …

Jon Skeet's broken the C# tag stats page formatting on SO!

Me = (probably) Idiot... Find my Enlightened Answer!
Could this be due to the voting anomaly script? Maybe you got a bunch of votes on your +8 answer that were counted as anomalies (i.e. coming from suspected sock puppet accounts, etc.) and were removed …
