Cool.

In light of the resolution to my bold problem (posted earlier), I suggest that the site try to close all open tags before saving the message. This would prevent/mitigate the problem I inadvertently caused.

According to the code it is already being done.

When a question has been deleted, it should no longer appear in the list of questions. It's annoying to click on a question in the list, only to be greeted with the "sorry, can't find this page" error.

In quick answers or the forums? (assuming quick answers, but want to be sure)

Yes, in Quick Answers.

Sorry 'bout that. I'll add it to the bug list.

Look at the 2nd response. All of the text is bold and there's no markup (that I see) that makes it bold. I tried a couple of times to un-bold it, and nothing worked.
Solution ===============
IT WAS MY FAULT! 
I had an unclosed bold tag in MY response that was screwing up the rest of the page.

Enquirer:
Remove an answered Programming Forum Question (with at least one reply): -10
Participant:
Vote survey: 1 point
Newsletter opt-out (description is missing): -points for opt-in
Sign in (retroactively for every year with activity before 2009): 12 points
Notes: People removing their initial question are rude to those who answered it, I think it should be reflected in the user's enquirer status. Counting member sign-ins started somewhere in 2009, at least it looks like it from different members reputation graphs. I think if a newsletter gives 50 participation points, then every year of actively participating at this site should count something too. It would give a nice feeling for those long time members who do not have an MVP status.
Have a good weekend

I think this is a great suggestion. 
Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

But sometimes, the "answer" is telling the OP NOT to post duplicate questions. Besides, I sometimes answer a question, and then delete it. That way, they get my answer, but nobody else is bothered with the question. I don't do this very often, but it has happened a few times
A BETTER suggestion would be to immediately remove the question from the list of questions if its been deleted. In fact, I came here to make that very suggestion.

If someone posted a duplicate question and removed it later he/she has earned the -10 points in my opinion. 
In any case, others will still see the thread in the forum because the initial post can only be blanked by the poster (not completely removed). To make life easier for others I'd recommend downvoting/reporting duplicates (or let the original poster remove it)... others can see what is going on and ignore it.

No problem, as long it was not replied to by someone else.

Good idea (if there are enough moderators), my suggestion is for questions deleted by the original poster with at least one reply.

The entire problem is that the question is still listed, even though it's been deleted. The fix is to delete the question from the list of questions. There's no need to muck around with points and such.

The issue I see is that there are people in the C++ message board who sometimes delete their initial post (example). It is not about duplicates, but about rude behaviour that could be reflected in their reputation as enquirer: Assume a member who posted 5 questions and blanked them after receiving answers, he will gain a negative enquirer status (with my suggestion), doesn't sound like a good idea?

Our suspicion is that this doesn't happen often. I'll still add it to the TODO list but we probably won't be able to get to it for a while.

In case you didn't catch on (or for anybody else who happens upon this thread in the future), he was talking about the forums while you were talking about Quick Answers. Two different beasts entirely.

In Q&A section, when I click on some questions I am shown 'Page Not Found'.
This is happening for many questions.
Looking for a switch!

Your link doesn't work; but if you're talking about sandympatil[^] he's been posting drivel at a level only slightly below the high sewermark set by teh developer; and has explicitly[^] stated his only reason for this crap is to try and gain points. As you can see by his rep graph he's hemorrhaging points at the maximum daily cap for debater penalties.
