| Mar 5, 2016 at 19:53 | comment | added | user642796 | @quid: Thanks for the link (which I was apparently slightly involved in). I recalled that MO is hesitant to enact manual deletions, which personally strikes me as a bit odd, if the level of questions on the site is to be maintained. If one wants "oversight" of the deletion process, largely leaving it up to a mindless algorithm would appear to be counterproductive. The last bit of my answer could be read in that light. | |

My proposal to restart it was faced with skepticism I believe mainly due to bad memories from the days before some consensus on what should be deleted was reached. I accepted this skepticism and cast delete votes only in extreme cases, due to the broken nature of the process I usually need to supplement these with flags or pokes to fellow users. | |
| Mar 4, 2016 at 12:32 | comment | added | user9072 | re manual deletion: we had a good routine of manual deletion on MO 1.0 (after some time of calibration it was in a state of causing very little upset while removing almost all poor content after two-three days). With the move this activity declined. I think on the one hand due to the change in interface and on the other hand due to the appearance of auto deletion (at least these were my reasons to be less active there). | |
