| Mar 13, 2012 at 17:05 | comment | added | slhck | Why do you need them to be accepted? We have votes too. | |
| Mar 13, 2012 at 17:03 | comment | added | Michael K | It is hard for me to accept that. There is always a way to get rid of such a problem, has it ever been discussed to make an additional flag for this questions(the ones that meet the mentioned conditions), so they can be moved to a special section where users decide by vote for accepting one answer? If not, I would write a feature request for this. | |
| Mar 13, 2012 at 16:54 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | it's mainly about people who are used to mailing lists and forums, finding Stack Exchange and posting & then running away the moment the get an answer, never to come back. There's very little that can be done, and having Mods mark an answer as accepted feature has been declined, and not to mention it's not correct since mods don't judge the technical validity of the answer. A discussion on this on [meta.so] Moderators accepting answers on user's behalf after a certain time period | |
| Mar 13, 2012 at 16:47 | comment | added | Michael K | Why is that such a big issue? Wouldn't it be possible to allow moderators to accept an answer to a question that was inactive for a few month if it has like ~5 upvotes or something like that.? | |
| Mar 13, 2012 at 16:45 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | Hit and run cases suck, but there's nothing much that can be done. | |
