Well, hang on a minute. You're effectively accusing them of having no integrity and now you're protecting it? This seems to be a very convenient way of you having a good old whine without the need for any actual evidence to support your argument.

Hang on two minutes and be patience with a None native.
I don't like to list the reported Q&A, because than one can see the reportes....ok?

Are you sure they were actually deleted by a single member? I seem to recall there's a slight issue with the message, when three users flag the same question for different reasons, and only the last user is shown on the "closed by" message.
AFAIK, only protectors and staff have the big red "delete question" button.

Yes I'm sure that questions were deleted because of one Report of one member. At least that is what I see if I have a look to the question.

Well, neither of us can see the raw data, so if the message is incorrectly displaying only one member, when three members actually flagged the question for different reasons, then there's no way to know for sure. 
I think a bug-ette in the "closed by" message is far more likely that a loophole that lets one user close a question on their own. But if you still think that's happening, why not drop the hamsters an email[^] with a link to the question(s) and ask them to check? They're quite friendly, and hardly ever bite.

No, sorry that does not Count. If I see the Report than it Counts. Otherwhise you can also say I started a post here about "anything other".
Sorry, that I can not express it more clear.

No, you don't seem to understand.
If three users report a question, but each selects a different option, then the "closed by" message only shows the last user who reported the question.
That doesn't mean that the question was closed by one user. It was still reported by three users. It just means that the message is wrong.
Since neither of us can see the raw data to check who actually reported the question and why, neither of us can know for certain which of us is correct. Therefore, there is no point in arguing about it here.
As I said, if you remain convinced that a single user is closing questions, ask the admins. They do have access to the raw data, and whilst they won't necessarily tell you who reported the question, they will be able to tell you how many reports it received.

Ok, thank you for explanation. Now it makes sense.
Thanks.
[EDIT]
Sorry it was/is my English, which was the Problem. Your last Explanation "without slang" was very good.
Thank you again.

If you feel that you have been done wrong, please raise the topic with an admin; they'll be able to review what happened, and make any corrections if required.

You don't have to be native in English; I'm not, and still we are discussing ethics on a forum.
It will be hard to deny that most of the community and documentation is aimed at a single language. It makes sharing of ideas and concepts easier. As soon as that changes, we'll find new barriers.

One thing that might not be obvious (and I apologise - I haven't read the entire thread so someone else may have already said this) ...
Regarding Quote: Questions will be simply deleted (by a single member), because they deemed
unworthy
I have noticed sometimes that I have been listed as the only member closing a post yet when I have "reported" it (unclear, off topic, not a question etc) then mine is the third report - i.e. 2 other members thought the same before me, yet my name is the only one listed.
It doesn't bother me because I know I wasn't the only person who thought that way! The point is posts are usually only deleted/closed once sufficient members have flagged them.
A single Protector can delete a post. For example, I can do that, but I reserve that act for clear spam or self-answers to questions where the member really meant to update their question or post a comment (in the latter case I always let the poster know what I am about to do and provide guidelines to avoid the problem in the future). If you think a Protector (including me) is abusing that power, then please report it to Chris or Sean or via the Sugs&Bugs forum

There was a big thread way back when, "Gold members are abusing this site". Just like now, it wasn't so much that it wasn't happening, but the evidence for it was poorly chosen and almost everyone got hung up on that instead of addressing the actual issue.

dude,
you are very new to this site. man up, change your panties, and learn. I rarely venture to the questions area. I would love to tutor someone, but looking at the questions, well, really - they are mostly homework. Most of these "high ranking members" who are now appointed as HRMs  have answered so many questions and have been soooooo patient. It's why only some people have nuclear weapons and death rays. Their patience has been tasked...
so suck it up.
I'm not being harsh. So you got your feelings hurt. Big damn deal. You have so much to learn from the people on this site. So much breadth, wealth of info. Don't cheat yourself by getting your panties all in a wad. Learn, adapt, overcome. (name that movie).

We Need Information to answer questions. Even though high-rep (unsure if I'm going to Count myself into this Group) members usually have a good bit of experience, we still can't answer questions where the asking Person is only giving out an exception message and a stack trace.
There would be a bit missing: Where in the code does the exception happen? Was it working before? If you get an XML Parse exception that is mostly due to corrupted XML data, but to actually help you out with your Problem we Need to see how you are trying to read the data.
Mind you that this is only an example.
0x01AA wrote: b.) Not every member is a member for several years. That a question be repeated is probably the normal!
Depends. Sometimes we see People who are asking a question which had an answer on the first Google Search result when actually searching for it. This is a PITA for everyone.
0x01AA wrote: The repetitive and pedantic teachings of some members nerves sometimes more than the spammers!
I (personally) doubt that. We're not going to do anyone's homework (and believe me, it is easy to spot These)
0x01AA wrote: Do you ask yourself why it really comes now and then to outbursts?
I was once one of the outbursts, but I will do my best in the future to represent Low Rep Members!
Outbursts are a reason to Close the account, but after an apology the admins usually reopen an account. Any outburst (by high- and low-rep members) Need to be reported to the S&A Forum[^] .
I personally see outbursts as something bad (including a lack of self-control and politeness), Independent whether they come from new or older members.

Neither it is mine, nor it is to about guessed 40% to 50% of the active high rep members.
