I have a guy posting to the SP groups who marks about one third of his posts as Answers. Actually that's the historical figure - for his recent posts he is running at just over 50%.
Needless to say this is a nuisance as he marks posts that most other people wouldn't mark if they were by someone else.
So has anything happened with this often-requested fix ?
Are to saying he "proposes" as answer? Cuz the only ones who should be able to MARK the answer are the OP and moderators. And if a mod is using this willy nilly, then that specific instance needs to be looked at.Matt Fraser, STO Forums Software Developer
If you mark your own post as "proposed as answer", it is a way to oblige the OP to mark your post as answer. It is unfair. For myself, i have never marked my own posts as answer ( when i was answerer ) or "proposed as answer", except if i am the original poster and found the solution and wanted to share this solution with people who would be interested by it ( in this case, it is normal but it will never give points...) I always prefered to "loose points" rather to try to grab points but generally, i have seen other moderators ( or answerers ) marking my post as the good answer when the OP decided not to post again.
It is ill-bred , that's all.
Have a nice dayPlease remember to click 'Mark as Answer' on the post that helped you. Unmark if it provides no help
