| Jul 17, 2013 at 7:46 | comment | added | Kaveh | There are reasons for down voting a closed question. Here are a few: 1. Expressing that the question was completely off-topic or severely suffers from other issues. 2. IIRC, automatic deletion system deletes closed questions with negative net vote faster than those with zero net vote. 3. Questions below -3 net vote are not displayed on the front page so it can be a way of making sure that completely off-topic question do not clutter the front page. However, in general users down vote very infrequently on MO and what Asaf wrote is the reason for closed questions having one down vote. | |
