| May 29, 2015 at 4:26 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | This is related to the first part of your post (about bumping without any visible activity): meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/1636/modified-by-community | |
| May 24, 2015 at 23:06 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @StefanKohl Yes, there's a functionality where I can see them if I want. But being able to see deleted comments is just part of the job (and on the scale of deleted comments, those due to typos are among the least unattractive). On the other hand, site mods can edit user comments, and I usually correct typos in comments if and when I notice them. | |
| May 24, 2015 at 23:01 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | @ToddTrimble: So you can see them? | |
| May 24, 2015 at 22:57 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @StefanKohl No, deleted comments are invisible to all but site mods (or SE staff). | |
| May 24, 2015 at 22:46 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | @ToddTrimble: By the way -- are also deleted comments still visible for someone? -- If yes, for similar reasons one probably shouldn't too often repost comments to fix typo's etc. (otherwise avoiding such reposts is probably pointless). | |
| May 24, 2015 at 17:44 | comment | added | user9072 | Thanks. That's still something else, but still no individuals activity. It was "poked" by Community. Certain types of questions are activated to give them visibility by this process (roughly, questions that have an answer that is not upvoted or accepted). If you see a question with last activity "Community" it is normally this. It is indeed just a reactivation and done automatically. | |

| May 24, 2015 at 17:23 | comment | added | user642796 | Bringing more attention to a question which has not yet been sufficiently answered seems to be what bounties are meant for. | |
| May 24, 2015 at 16:45 | comment | added | user9072 | "I guess that this happens whenever somebody deletes his/her answer." This should be by-and-large a misconception. (Could you link some examples where you suspect this?) Reopening of a questions bumps it. If the last activity is by a high-rep user chances are it was this. Also, "comments as answer" or "spam"-answers that are then deleted happen with quite some frequency. By contrast what you describe is something I would have not recollection seeing it. | |
