| Apr 6, 2014 at 18:50 | comment | added | Leos Literak | I have seen questions which were solved in comments without any answer posted. Would they be deleted as well? | |
| Dec 7, 2013 at 4:50 | comment | added | Synetech | Abandoned questions will eventually accumulate a lot of views because they keep getting bumped. They will also accumulate answers after a while. It would be better to implement some sort of forced-accept system rather than just deleting them. | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 5:13 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | The first time ever? I don't know; that was over 2 years ago now. I just edited this to reflect the addition of closed question culling after 9 days, which ran for the first time an hour ago with 27891 questions deleted on Stack Overflow, @Emrakul | |
| Jun 21, 2013 at 8:07 | comment | added | user206222 | @Shog9 I'm wondering, purely as a curiosity, how many questions were deleted the first time the script was run? | |

attempt to improve search ranking slightly

May I suggest, instead of DATEDIFF(day, p.CreationDate, GETUTCDATE()) > 365, to use p.CreationDate < Dateadd(day, DateDiff(day, 0, GETUTCDATE()) -365, 0) or if SQL Server 2008+, p.CreationDate < Dateadd(day, -365, Convert(date, GETUTCDATE())). Just as a nod to best practice for querying date columns using a scalar value...

| Jun 10, 2012 at 11:11 | comment | added | user152859 | @Arjan soft delete for sure, we just undeleted a question that was deleted by the automatic process. :) | |
| Sep 30, 2011 at 17:59 | comment | added | Arjan | Just curious: is auto-deleting for cleanup permanent, or is it a soft-deletion just like regular deletions? | |
| May 20, 2011 at 9:39 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | should "long" and "short" clicks from google factor in, e.g. a lot of views that are short clicks to a quesions with no answers is of very little value. | |

| Apr 9, 2011 at 8:35 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood StaffMod | @benjol I'll have to look at favorites, > 1 favorite might work (needed for self-favoriting) but I expect the results would change not at all on top of the other criteria already present | |
| Apr 9, 2011 at 8:32 | comment | added | Gabe | Now that I've gotten my first Tumbleweed badge, I'd like to think that I wouldn't have to keep asking my unanswered questions every year. Maybe you could avoid false positives by only looking at questions from low rep (<1k) or inactive (no activity for over 6 months) users. | |

| Feb 7, 2011 at 13:56 | comment | added | Benjol | Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I created a similar query a while ago here, which is slightly kinder - because it only includes questions where the user has less than 10 rep and hasn't visited the site in a year. One possible addition to your query which I would consider is not excluding favourited questions. | |

| Feb 6, 2011 at 0:24 | comment | added | martin clayton | @John - I think I approved some of those - they seemed good edits to me, but ... they are likely to be in vain. I've posted a separate question about edit rep for deleted questions: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/78147 | |
| Feb 5, 2011 at 23:50 | comment | added | John | Is it bad that I went though that entire list on an edit spree? | |
| Feb 5, 2011 at 23:13 | comment | added | martin clayton | Hopefully merged and closed questions don't get included in the 'unanswered' count. | |

| Feb 5, 2011 at 22:23 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse Mod | @Jeff since I manually deleted about 150 questions, I can tell that the number of views might be kind of low. Plus it inflates by everyone here checking them out to 'judge' them! No activity over a long period of time means the questions dead, regardless of the views | |

| Feb 5, 2011 at 8:38 | comment | added | user50049 | The majority of 'thank you' related flags have been coming from zero score 'answers' that are several months old. This should really help cut down on that. | |

| Feb 5, 2011 at 5:42 | comment | added | gnostradamus | @Jason: "Uber-Tumbleweed" isn't strong enough. More like "Pariah". ;) | |
| Feb 5, 2011 at 5:41 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood StaffMod | @andrew viewcount = measure of the internet public's interest in the question, regardless of whether or not it is answered | |
| Feb 5, 2011 at 5:33 | comment | added | Andrew | Why does the view count matter if the score is <= 0, there are no answers, and it hasn't been touched in a year? It it meets the last three, it's a pretty dead question... | |
| Feb 5, 2011 at 5:32 | comment | added | Jason Plank | I can't help but imagine that those are the criteria for a proposed "Uber-Tumbleweed" badge. | |
