  • We let them know that it's wrong to do such edits and that they should make a new question instead. Since Codidact doesn't have a day-long or more limit to posting questions after closing, they're free to make one.

You make a question, then edit it if you think something in place looks wrong, or you made a typo. Just let it be that way, the same question.

Then, in some scenario, either the post got deleted then undeleted, or maybe closed and you want it reopened. What do you do? Figure out the problem and if the whole thing doesn't fit well for the site, just give up and move one from it. However, some would simply make an entirely new question, and with or without interactions, it's a complete wreck.

I experienced this myself when I completely changed the question Somewhere Else, then was told not to do it again. It's better to let the question be and create a new one for a different question.
