| Mar 24, 2013 at 9:23 | comment | added | oKtosiTe | Sometimes people simply ask difficult to answer questions that do add value to the community. I don't think they should be punished for not accepting the first shoddy answer that comes around. | |
| Mar 20, 2013 at 9:50 | comment | added | Henrik Erlandsson | The problem with the vote sorting is that the guys voting aren't necessarily the ones having the specific problem. In many cases the asker is the best judge whether an answer is a good solution or not, because he will actually run the code in all the answers. Sometimes you solve it and completely forget about the question. I think the accept rate was a good motivator for sifting through your own questions until you find the one and let others who found it what really solved it. Just email a reminder when accept rate drops below 50% for anyone, newcomer or not. | |

| Mar 12, 2013 at 13:03 | comment | added | slhck Mod | @Karan IIRC, the system already shows a few hints or reminders about how accepting answers works. Other than that, you really shouldn't worry about it. | |
| Mar 12, 2013 at 0:40 | comment | added | Karan | Since I have no way to know, what's been done since the change noted above to better inform those whose accept rate is abysmally low about what they might be doing wrong? Any new clearly visible prompts or something? | |
