Not if a moderator locked and deleted it - a 10k user can then only view the question and vote to re-open it. Sometimes the moderators act extra viciously by editing each answer before deleting the answers as well. That way the user can't recover their own answers in order.

Sample: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/14827/typical...

The highest upvoted user got 122 points for that question.

True, but that still doesn't answer the question of why it's not visible in the first place.
