Well, I'm guessing your original question is asking if it's alright to post one question that may garner more popularity and be subsequently upvoted more, only to edit it later with the question you really meant to ask. I think whether that's appropriate or not is self explanatory.
As far as re-asking each month, Ross has said before in other chats to "try again" if your question didn't get addressed, so I don't see a problem with that myself personally. You can also try sticking around until the end of the live video chats (or try to show up near the end) and try to pose your question live.
Okay, I didn't know that Ross said "try again", but I haven't watched all of them, not even close. So enormous thank you for that, it's nice to know that officially you can try again, even if it's probably self-evident that you can.
My original question, however, was not even close to that scenario. Basically, what I was asking was if it was appropriate, in the same reddit thread, to first ask a question, delete the post with the question for whatever reason (but mainly because the original got downvoted), and then ask the same question in the same reddit thread but maybe phrased better, with the word fat trimmed (which works under the assumption that was the reason for the downvoting). I mean, as demonstrated by my first post here, I can mess up communicating in text.
I mean, now that I know that trying again is completely official, I won't even bother doing that and just ask it again next time. But I was not doing the scenario you suggested, that would definitely be subterfuge. I'm basically just overly worried that anything else I could do looks like subterfuge.
