Based on the idea from the math site where they use different shapes for bronze, silver, and gold badges, what about having different prompts for ours? Gold could be a (root shell) #, but I'm not sure ...

Can automatic deletion of "low-quality" posts be turned off?
Sorry, but this is a network-wide feature, not something that can be configured for each site. That said, this statement is really problematic:
Regardless of whether a post is truly low-quality or ...

Can those who voted to close a post voluntarily give up reviewing reopening the same post?
No.
And, again, no.
Neither are a good idea.
To clarify, and head off the inevitable complaints about the brevity of my answer, the people that originially voted to close are in fact the most ...

I would think not. We don't want to discourage people from asking for help with their homework, per se.

there should be some indicator to a Q&A if it's used in another question.
