Return to Answer

I do not know of anywhere on the web, where they have achieved a "Mandated Return Policy" for question askers, although it would be really great to see it pulled off. We could track them down at their homes or workplaces and pin them down until they provide:

1. did you solve the problem?
2. How exactly did you solve the problem?
3. Next time buddy, get your keyboard going and do a write back! Or we will be back! :-)

I would be 100% against fabricating an "accepted" answer out of an answer that "sounds good" , "Looks Correct" , "was tested by to confirm" or anything of the sort. This type of "determining for the questioner that the question is answered, FOR that questioner" Does happen on some sites, and the information can be Wrong (for that questioner) and worse. Worse for everyone who finds it in search and it is claimed to be solution, and isn't.

The information could "fix" it for one person, and be totally wrong for another. At some locations, they will Merge, cross, or claim dupe of a 99% similar , into the pile of other similars, with "hope" that the same pile of junk that does not fix it for the rest of them, is the right pile for the next person who cant fix it :-)

On some sites they mandate a Close of a question/thread, later there is finnaly an answer to that, but no one is able to put the answer in now, it is closed and locked. The useless chunks of non answer are still searchable, readable, and complete trash without the actual answer being able to be added in.

Check out how many "Answers" lol and Q&A merges exist on the microsoft answer site, and how few have persons comming in and saying "Thanks that worked", and the next 5 people dumped there it does not work for. How many times the same Lame non-answer of reinstall, recreate, or apply the magic Ms rollback or repair, are locked down as "the answer" when that solved nothing.

The writeback from the user with the problem is most valuable, when searching, to everyone who does write back, Thank You all.

Sound confusing? because reality and solutions for everyone , and the way it is handled in many locations is more confusing than my attempted description here :-)

Best thing a person could do is, satisfy thier own mind, and make an assumption that:
If they did not come back, your answer might have provided clues as to how to solve it, it might have led to the correct search term, or led them to find the right program or command for them.

Look on the bright side, They did not come back and say "That made things worse" :-)

The answers or even multiple answers for any question, have great value, for all the people who write a great answer , Thank You.
The writeback from the user with the problem is most valuable, when searching, to everyone who does write back, Thank You too.
