@agent86 you might be interested in this github.com/PHP-Chat/CVBacklogUI it's what the PHP Chat / [cv-ring], uses to handle bad questions.

Thanks for the great response as usual! I upvoted and will accept this, but wanting to keep it open for awhile for discussion and to get a dev (Kevin Montrose?) to see it as well.

Well that sucks, kinda ruins what I was wanting the info for. =o( Yeah, a removal date or status field would be great.

@KevinMontrose: yay they are now showing up. Turns out re-open votes were also broken, they too are showing up now. However, some questions the reopen_vote_count field is not being returned in the JSON response now. It should return as it is specified to do so via the filter, even if the count is at 0.
