Many times I have had answers and found out they were invalid due to a obscure meta post. But people have said things like: "This is the 3rd time people have done this and it is still not funny", "This is still invalid just like the other removed answers". I can't see those answers and I believe ~500+ should be able to see removed answers to help avoid this. BUT they can't see who made this answer.

5\$\begingroup\$ +1 because I'd like to see this problem discussed, even if I don't necessarily think the suggested solution is the best one. \$\endgroup\$– trichoplax is on Codidact nowCommented Jun 27, 2017 at 10:14

1\$\begingroup\$ Do people usually view the deleted answers, especially on highly answered questions, before posting? \$\endgroup\$– TheLethalCoderCommented Jun 27, 2017 at 10:17

1\$\begingroup\$ @TheLethalCoder Well, I won't post an answer if I see than an identical solution has been deleted... \$\endgroup\$– Erik the OutgolferCommented Jun 27, 2017 at 10:19

1\$\begingroup\$ @EriktheOutgolfer Yeah and me too but that doesn't mean everyone looks into the deleted answers before posting. \$\endgroup\$– TheLethalCoderCommented Jun 27, 2017 at 10:21

4\$\begingroup\$ Just an FYI, I'm pretty sure that if (when) we fully graduate, rep thresholds for deleted answers/questions, by default, go up. SO has mod tools at 10,000 rep. \$\endgroup\$– StephenCommented Jun 27, 2017 at 13:41

3\$\begingroup\$ Is this really such a big problem? If anything, deleted answers just create clutter and are an eyesore \$\endgroup\$– Beta DecayCommented Jun 28, 2017 at 13:40

\$\begingroup\$ @BetaDecay well if answers you think are valid are not and others have tried that it reduces the eyesore \$\endgroup\$– user63187Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 18:02

There's nothing we can do about this
The perk of seeing deleted answers are set on 2000 rep, and is set by the SE team. It's not a local rule to set reputations for these perks.
