When I flag link-only answers, I use the custom flag and specify the reason. BTW, "link-only" is often taken literally: just "look there" with no hint or explanation at all. | |

| Jun 11, 2016 at 12:38 | comment | added | ＳＡＮＤＥＥＰ | But accepting link only answers will not be good for Quality of answers we get, as we cant check every link if it is dead or alive. (this is the reason given on SO by mods). The user should at least give brief reproducible steps to solve the question. | |
