Q: Everytime I ask a question i get about 3 answeres and then at the bottom of the question this gets put:

Note:This question was deleted and will not be shown on general search pages.
If there is a reason entered by the moderator it will appear here:
This question was given the lowest rating by at least five level I moderators.

Why does it do that? What does it mean.?

5's for anything.
My question was fine and it still got deleted.
Questions that are outside the acceptable use guidelines are automatically deleted by level II moderators before they ever see the light of day, but lots of other questions get deleted as well after a period of time. Level I moderators are given the freedom to rate questions, and if five of them give you the lowest rating, your question gets taken off the site.

We let level I mods rate based on anything they feel like... they might rate you down because it's whiny, or because it's phrased weird, or because they don't like you. The most common reason for a low-rating is that we've seen the question a million times before or it deals with issues we've heard about a million times before. You can browse categories or use the question search pages to find advice given to people who asked similar questions.

Your question also might be too long and complicated (are you giving us paragraphs of detail that don't even matter before getting to the point of your question?) or it might be too short and impersonal (is your question so broad and void of details that we can't picture the situation?).

We know it's not nice to delete questions, but we get hundreds of these things a day and our columnists go insane if they get stuff that's really not answerable.

that was in the faq section

thanks =)
