Most of the "not constructive" / "not a real question" ones will eventually be deleted anyway. As Daniel said above, the duplicates are kept though. | |

A new user likely isn't going to search before posting, and therefore would not encounter the content, which is viewed as unwanted. If said user would post a question, which is unwanted, doesn't that just lead to more clutter instead of education? He would only learn when the faulty question would get closed. | |
