| Sep 7, 2017 at 0:47 | comment | added | Brick | Following-up on the comment by @AndrewT., if you fail to vote to delete a question in VLQ that is link-only, the system will block your account for a while after one of those "STOP LOOK AND LISTEN" warnings. At least that's how it is on other SE sites. | |
| Sep 7, 2017 at 0:42 | comment | added | Brick | As I've added to my answer, this whole process is designed to fix a problem that does not really exist. The standard process already gives the person who posted feedback and an opportunity to correct. What's been implemented is a method for the moderators to by-pass the community and do something different. Unless there's some underlying issue that makes this site different in how it functions, I don't understand why this ever came about. | |

Note that the mod only chat room ("Link-only holding pen") would have a record of that since we generally indicated what the fate of the question was after three days. | |

| Sep 3, 2017 at 19:31 | comment | added | Aurora0001 | @Ghanima Indeed. This query catches 3 posts that were commented upon, then improved, although it won't catch cases where the comment was later deleted. | |
| Sep 3, 2017 at 19:16 | comment | added | Ghanima Mod | Thanks for bringing this up. After working with this policy for a few months now I think it is worthwhile to consider whether it helps the site and is worth the effort. There is a minor point to add - but likely not to figure out using a data explorer query - there are actually a few posts that have been edited by the OP to prevent conversion to community wiki. (That would be about 20 posts in the whole time). Maybe that actually is the success of the whole deal. | |
| Sep 3, 2017 at 19:11 | comment | added | Andrew T. | Just a bystander here. I found the policy of converting link-only answers to CW surprising (though I have no voice on this policy) because there's a Very Low-Quality Review Queue with a canned comment to handle this exact kind of answer. | |

Did I really write that awkward sentence?
