Nov 7, 2016 at 21:40 comment added fixer1234 @AndreTerra, true, it get the equivalent of 1 1/2 votes. But voting is anonymous, so in a sense, it isn't completely reliable as far as the reason behind it. A lot of times, a post will be upvoted because it's "high quality" and helps someone else, even though it might not actually answer that question The acceptance is known to come from the OP, and supposedly means that the OP at least found it helpful or a solution to the posted question. So that's worth a little extra. :-)
Nov 7, 2016 at 21:26 comment added airstrike @fixer1234 then the counter argument is that accepted answers receive a disproportionate amount of points when it's really just another vote
Nov 7, 2016 at 21:24 comment added fixer1234 @AndreTerra, that's what voting is for. The site's definition of acceptance limits it to the OP. There's been a lot of discussion on Meta about this, but it's kind of built into the whole concept of the SE structure.
Nov 7, 2016 at 19:32 comment added airstrike I don't agree that the OP should exclusively own the rights to accepting the answer. If the community, through some form of understanding or consensus, collectively agrees that an answer is valid, then it should be able to mark it as accepted. To put it simply, an answer is valid if it adequately solves the problem that's being asked. Whether OP can see or agree that the answer is valid is actually besides the point.
