The mods here use post notices more than many sites, which I think is kinda nice. But unfortunately that means the general guidance on how to work with those is a bit lacking. If an answer has a post notice when it showshappens to show up in Low Quality Posts review (or, for 4k users, wherever they might stumble across it), should an ordinary user vote to move toward deleting that answer without specifically waiting for the poster to respond to the post notice? (Assuming they don't have any practical ability, or perhaps simply lack the time, to edit the post themselves to fix it up. If they do, editing is vastly preferred.)

I can see a couple possible reasons for doing so:

  • Posts deleted from LQP (by Recommend Deletion, anyway) can be undeleted by the poster unilaterally if need be, so the impact isn't too terrible if someone can fix it. (This is not the case for ♦-deleted posts.)
  • The queue doesn't move that fast, so it's reasonable to expect it to be a few hours before the answer is deleted, which is at least something of a window for fixing.
  • We really do want the answers either fixed or gone at some point.

Should I vote for (recommending) deletion on an answer that's just had a post notice put on it?
