[Meta] Moderation queue comments - do askers actually see them?

Questions & Answers
1

Now that UnityAnswers has adjusted how much karma users need to reject questions in the moderation queue (thanks Graham!), I’m curious:

When I comment on a question in the queue, and then reject that question, does the comment actually make it back to the asker? I like to include helpful messages about why a question was rejected (no discernable question, off-topic, better for the forum, etc.), and I just want to make sure that the OPs are actually seeing those comments even after their question is rejected/deleted. Can any UA devs / users who have been rejected comment on this?

Yes they do. Often they reply to the comments while its in moderation . They sometimes even improve the question and we then publish it.

But most times some guy comes in and publish everything in one go. And hours later someone with proper permission (enough karma points) has to go and close the questions.
