I recently encountered a question that had a score of -4 and had been put "on hold" as off-topic. However, the OP had written a self-answer and accepted it. Currently, the question won't Roomba, even though the answer has a score of 0.

Should questions like this actually be prevented from Roombaing?

    Or just ignore acceptance for roomba purpose altogether; it does not say anything about how useful the question is for those other than the OP. – user6655984 Jul 18 '17 at 13:23

    @Alex That was my thought as well. In this case, literally no one other than the OP thought that there was anything useful about the post. – EJoshuaS - Reinstate Monica Jul 18 '17 at 14:21
