<p>Our community has long been concerned about how the site's automated deletion scripts (aka Roomba) handle &quot;abandoned&quot; questions, as lamented in the 2023 meta post <a href="https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/q/16931/4797">Is the automatic deletion of &quot;abandoned&quot; questions a good thing?</a> These are typically questions about older or more obscure games that receive zero votes, a score of zero, <em>and</em> have a low view count. Based on the votes on that post, the community largely agrees this is an issue.</p> <p>Previously, Roomba's criteria couldn't be modified, but now there's good news! As of June 26, 2025, <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/411021/162827" title="Decrease the required view count to prevent Roomba deletion when score = 0 on smaller sites">SE has introduced a new feature that allows Community Managers to customize auto-deletion criteria</a> for SE sites. According to a CM, communities that want adjustments should discuss the matter on their Meta site, reach consensus, and then tag the discussion with <a href="/questions/tagged/status-review" class="s-tag post-tag s-tag__moderator moderator-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;status-review&#39;" aria-label="show questions tagged &#39;status-review&#39;" rel="tag" aria-labelledby="tag-status-review-tooltip-container" data-tag-menu-origin="Unknown">status-review</a> to notify the CMs for implementation.</p> <p>For reference, here are the default settings for SE's <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/5222/162827">automated cleanup scripts</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The system will <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/78048/auto-deleting-old-unanswered-zero-score-questions-after-a-year/92006#92006">automatically delete</a> unlocked, unanswered questions older than 365 days on main (non-meta) sites, that have a score of zero (or have a score of 1 and the owner's account is deleted), have fewer than 1.5 views per day on average, and fewer than two comments. (shown as &quot;Scheduled: RemoveAbandonedQuestions&quot; in the question timeline)</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/411021/162827" title="Decrease the required view count to prevent Roomba deletion when score = 0 on smaller sites">SE has created site-specific settings</a> that allow us to modify:</p> <blockquote> <ul> <li>The multiplier: “has view count &lt;= the age of the question in days times [XXX].&quot;</li> <li>The number of days: Adjusting the time until a post becomes eligible for Community user deletion (defaults to XXX days).</li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>Should we request more lenient auto-deletion criteria for Arqade? If so, what specific settings should we propose?</p>

<p>I noticed <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/users/-1/community">Community</a> showing up as the last activity on a few questions, but didn't appear there were any edits or Community wiki or any recent activity. Is there just cleanup going on with it, or something else?</p> <p>For example, this shows activity on the home page: <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/23897/what-corporations-can-i-run-missions-for-and-avoid-losing-standings-with-the-majo">What corporations can I run missions for and avoid losing standings with the major factions?</a>, but has no apparent recent activity.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/CBZF6.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/CBZF6.png" alt="Closed 1 hour ago by Penguin and Community." /></a> Why? I couldn't find anything, I'm just wondering? Does the bot deem that the wording is too similar or something?</p>

<p>I was browsing Arqade today and saw this question, <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/q/362465/264353">What are the differences between the Wii and Xbox One/PS4/Switch versions of Just Dance Games?</a>, became active today (1/31/21). I am curious why it is active if the last comments/posts are from a year ago. I looked at this question on Meta, <a href="https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/q/15453/264353">Why are some posts marked as highly active and others are not?</a>, and saw they could be protected because of deleted and low-quality answers. Since I am not at 10,000 Rep, I would never know this. How would someone like me know why a post became active?</p> <p>While researching the Meta Active Question, I stumbled across this question, <a href="https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/q/10908/264353">Do we really have 1.7k late answers to review?</a>. I have been hesitant to answer questions that are older because (A), I don't want to burden the Moderators and higher-rep people with an answer to an old question; and (B), If I post an answer, and someone doesn't review my answer, does it just get lost in limbo, never to be seen by anyone else?</p> <p>This is my first Meta post. Please let me know how to improve, and feel free to edit my question!</p>

<p>I'm looking for new 'hot' Minecraft questions on the main page, and what do I find?</p> <hr /> <p><a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/262101/minecraft-1-9-freezes-if-i-click-on-things-too-quickly">Minecraft 1.9 freezes if I click on things too quickly</a></p> <p>Asked shortly after the 1.9 release in 2016. The problem in question existed for a short while and has been fixed ages ago. The question went through two cosmetic edits since then, last in April, 2016, and has been bumped by Community User 5 times since, including today.</p> <p><a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/211454/why-cant-i-destroy-blocks-or-hit-people-in-multiplayer-and-in-single-player-on">Why can&#39;t I destroy blocks or hit people in multiplayer and in single player on diamond dimensions?</a></p> <p>Asked Mar 28 '15. Last (cosmetic) edit next day. The modpack in question has been updated many, many times over the years making the original question largely irrelevant. The question - bumped today by Community User.</p> <p><a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/221954/how-to-disable-enable-land-protection-without-losing-ownership-list-in-a-minecra">How to disable/enable land protection without losing ownership list in a minecraft server?</a></p> <p>Created 2015, bumped today for no apparent reason.</p> <p><a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/241564/minecraft-disconnection-timeout-aiding-bad-connection-players">Minecraft disconnection timeout, aiding bad connection players</a></p> <p>November 2015, Technical Support for Modded Minecraft question, (a community-specific close reason) bumped twice, including today.</p> <p><a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/341483/why-arent-iron-golems-spawning-in-my-iron-farm">Why aren&#39;t iron golems spawning in my iron farm?</a></p> <p>A pre-1.14 iron farm in Minecraft, bumped by 'Community User' 7 times, 6 of which it was already obsolete, after 1.14 release where the mechanics of iron farms changed fundamentally.</p> <hr /> <p>Seems like actions of a bot dabbling in necromancy, arbitrary pointless bumps creating useless noise, burying new, valid questions and wasting people's time.</p>

<p>It seems like the <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/users/-1/community">Community</a> user that's supposed to be <em>"a background process to keep this site clean"</em>, somehow figured out that <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/users/-1/community">an answer contained an unformatted quote and formatted it</a>. </p> <p>Is it really THAT smart? Or am I being rick-rolled here? User id of -1 suggests that no, it really is a special user.</p>

<p>Over the course of the weekend <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/272347/fallout-3-trouble-on-the-homefront-trophy-isnt-unlocking">five</a> <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/339710/why-cant-i-see-the-nuka-world-map">questions</a> <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/174466/are-vats-aiming-bugs-in-falloutnew-vegas-really-that-preventive/355167#355167">I've</a> <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/131960/why-do-i-get-a-there-are-no-known-resources-here-message-when-calling-for-scav/355064#355064">answered</a> <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/280144/my-x-01-power-armor-keeps-appearing-in-different-parts-of-my-settlement-but-i-do/355075#355075">were</a> bumped to the homepage of Arqade. Before this no questions I've asked or answered have been bumped by <a href="https://gaming.stackexchange.com/users/-1/community">Community</a> before (to my knowledge). Four of the five questions only had one answer - the answer I posted, which I also thought was an interesting trend.</p> <p>Of course, it wasn't exclusively questions and answers posted by me. I did notice quite a few other questions were bumped to the front page as well. To me, it seemed like more bumps than usual.</p> <p>What is the criteria for a question/answer to be bumped to the front page and why were there so many over the this weekend?</p>
