| 2 days ago | comment | added | music2myear | This question is similar to: Can I not delete my own questions, after answers were posted?. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | james | Taking example of superuser.com/questions/1861134/how-slow-can-ddr4-ram-be how can I improve it? I tried to do so by following the manual but still didn't work. | |
| Dec 8 at 3:46 | comment | added | Ramhound | @james—Even if you delete the question, it still counts against your ability to submit new questions. Deleting your question yourself is a significant decision and should be avoided whenever possible. "But since the post has got a lot of downvotes, that means it's not gonna be helpful for other people, right?" - If it received an answer, then that answer might be helpful to others. If you don't edit the question, those votes can never be reversed. | |

| Dec 7 at 16:23 | comment | added | james | But since the post has got a lot down vote that means it's not gonna be helpful for other people right? So why leave it there so other people can waste time browsing it? Why not just give the author of the answer credit even if the quastion was deleted? | |
| Dec 7 at 8:49 | comment | added | Ramhound | Deleting a question because you’re unhappy with the reception is very rarely the solution. It’s much easier to address the reason the question received downvotes. The reason question once they are answered cannot be deleted by the author is to prevent the author from asking questions and removing the question after they were helped. | |
