Doesn't Forum forbid him/her from mark as answer on his/her own post?

Hi Ashidacchi,
Well I believe that if one is confident enough that his/ her answer is correct whether it is an OP/ Moderator can mark their own answer.
Also if someone is marking their own answer only to increase the point by seeing the users profile points/ reputation.
Another is marking a post as answer will help other member having the same issue to find a solution. As I said earlier this depends on how much that OP/ Moderator is confident that the solution is marking is correct.
Alternate option is if the answer not the OP looking for but somehow the solution is helpful. So we can always vote it as helpful post.

I agree with you Richard.
What I also do before Marking as answer is visit OP's profile activity and see how often OP came back to forum. Some times it look like that after 15-20 days or 1 month later OP came back to the forum and Mark as answer. I think there is a 5 point difference Marking as answer by OP and by Moderator.
But hard decision has to take when sometimes OP's activity is showing in other forum but OP not coming to the thread that was open and whether or not issue is solved. So have to remind the OP multiple times if issue is solved then mark as answer the one that solved the issue. :)
