If people delete a bad or incorrect answer then the feedback system is working as intended! The only problem here is in not being able to give back the acceptance, and because people are encouraged to keep high acceptance levels wrong answers are quite often accepted. | |

How is that not "cheating" the system? Accepted or not, I think it's a little unfair to remove answers in order to stop loosing reputation. | |

| Feb 21, 2013 at 23:32 | comment | added | mdpc | I'd go for that, I still feel that the current handling of ACCEPTED answers needs to be changed. | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 23:32 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | In the interim to stop you from getting stomped on by the pile-on downvoters I've ---locked--- deleted your answer for you (apparently mods are immune to the "can't delete if accepted" bit, I didn't think we were) | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 23:29 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | Perhaps a different angle to consider: "Downvotes on accepted answers shouldn't cost the answerer reputation"? (though a bad/wrong answer should be "punished" in theory, it really is somewhat unfair since they can't be deleted once accepted) | |
