New feature Please? it should stop confusion.

When a question is sent to meta by @irobot it gives a little comment saying, this was migrated to meta from ifixit. Any chance we can do that if someone changes an answer/ comment to a question? https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/3700... (I'm going through giving questions titles) Without knowing what hes talking about and this being a few months old I marked it as archieve as unasnwerable.

that may take @irobots focus off marking non spam as spam :p

@captainsnowball that is the trouble in "moderation". This is the outcome when a bunch of people vote to convert a comment to a question and nobody goes and edits it after conversion. The moderators try and catch those but some of them do get by. Always be careful what you vote for in Moderation. If the comments are to old we will just create an orphaned question ;-)

Although It may be more effective to have @irobot add a comment with a link to the previous question. Do we just kill off questions like that with an unknown origin? I mean, at least show the action in history of the question. I could also go searching patrol for the action by comparing dates but I imagine that would be extremely time consuming.

@captainsnowball some of those converted questions are salvageable by reading them and making the edits required to become a valid question. That is why one must practice caution in moderation. Do not vote to convert comments to questions that are a. to old or b. incomprehensible without the content of the original question/answer.

That's what I do often searching up "no title" could you help out in moderation a little please? the RCA tablet code thing is coming up again and I hate how nobody can spell and keeps being immature.

@captainsnowball and we need to stop pouring oil on the flame ;-) Sometimes it is best to get some distance from those questions. In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft!
