| Oct 30, 2015 at 3:38 | comment | added | Servy | @miken32 As a general rule I tend to avoid suggesting that people take courses of action that would be inappropriate. Now, most comments, by themselves, wouldn't make good answers, so you probably need to expand on the point for it to be a good answer. | |
| Oct 30, 2015 at 3:35 | comment | added | miken32 | "If the question is answered in comments, and is actually an appropriate and on topic question, then post an answer with the solution (citing the work of others as appropriate)." Is that cool? I've had more than a few opportunities to do it but wasn't sure if it was frowned upon. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 13:19 | comment | added | epascarello | though I find many poor questions tend to get a single upvote for some odd reason. Probably the people who upvote everything on their screen to hit their quota. Drives me bonkers. | |
| Oct 28, 2015 at 23:45 | comment | added | Servy | @J... Agreed, although there are plenty of questions about topics that wouldn't get enough attention, even if properly tagged. | |

In OP's case, simply adding the non-version-specific python tag probably would have gained enough attention to get it closed.

| Oct 27, 2015 at 15:57 | comment | added | Servy | @BryanOakley That's the Upvote Bad Posts review queue at work (*ahem* I mean the First Posts review queue). | |
| Oct 27, 2015 at 15:52 | comment | added | Paul Roub | @BryanOakley Downvote them. Deletion is based on the net votes. | |

| Oct 27, 2015 at 15:49 | comment | added | Bryan Oakley | Cool. I didn't know about the automatic removal. That should work most of the time, though I find many poor questions tend to get a single upvote for some odd reason. <shrug> | |
