Someone recently asked which question on SFF had the most downvotes. Of course, it is trivial to determine which question has the lowest total score: just order by votes.
However, this does not tell us what is the lowest-scoring question there has ever been, since a question that scored so low might well have been deleted.
Is there any way to determine what is the lowest-scoring question SFF has ever had, including questions that are now deleted?
I believe this is what you're looking for;
If you run the search (and you've got over 10K rep), you can review the questions that were low voted and subsequently deleted (correct as of 11/03/17)
1) Did Draco Malfoy rape Hermione Granger? [duplicate] (-28 = 28 down, 0 up)
2) Did Draco rape Hermione? [duplicate] (-23 = 23 down, 0 up)
3) Do imaginary animals; dragons, unicorns, etc… exist in the real world? [closed] (-21 = 22 down, 1 up)
4) Who is the new 'Darth Vader 2.0' character? [deleted] (-19 = 27 down, 6 up)
5) I KNOW WHO KILLED PHONE GUY IN FNAF 1 [closed] (-18 = 18 down, 0 up)
5) Is this a valid explanation for why the TARDIS blew up? Also could Davros be the TARDIS controller [closed] (-18 = 18 down, 0 up)
Had these questions survived, the topmost would have come in at #3 on the list of the 5 most downvoted questions of all time. The top two would have made the top 5 aggregate list (e.g. upvotes v. downvotes) coming in at #2 and #3, respectively.
I guess because in order for a question to be truly despised, it needs to not get deleted for at least a while.
