I suspect deleting and undeleting an answer might remove the checkmark, but as you said, mods should not judge technical accuracy. | |
| Sep 6, 2017 at 11:46 | comment | added | slhck | @Thomas That would be a somewhat special case that doesn't occur often. Mods should not judge the technical nature of an answer. It could be blatantly wrong or cause problems, but that doesn't mean it should be deleted. If there are severe issues, adding a comment or -- but this could be considered too strong intervention -- editing the post to include a caveat would be the preferable option. | |
