| Aug 4, 2014 at 3:54 | comment | added | tudor -Reinstate Monica- | @Iain - I've always been interested in the management of obsolete questions on SE, too, since any answer has the possibility of becoming obsolete. "Quickly" is a relative term, and my occasional frustration is when I come across answers I know to have been correct at the time but have since become obsolete and I want to encourage newer answers that may be more suitable. | |

@MichaelHampton without some way to prevent low quality and overly opinionated answers I agree. We need to have a voting system in place for answers- or at least the ability to edit or flag them- before we let people do just whatever they want. As of right now, when someone posts a terrible answer, the most an SF user can legally do is leave a comment saying "I did not enjoy that post. It made my inner child sad."

| Jul 26, 2014 at 4:43 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | Here's an example of a good shopping question. This is the way I'd like to see them presented. And here's a bad one. How do we get from here to there? | |

| Jul 24, 2014 at 14:39 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | I'm not inclined to agree with allowing shopping questions without some way to prevent low quality and overly opinionated answers. Software Recommendations put a lot of work into this and you may want to review that. | |

| Jul 24, 2014 at 14:14 | comment | added | TheCleaner | :) @ChrisS - I can live with that. I wrote it with that possibility in mind... | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 14:12 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | -1 I was going to upvote for the well written question and vaguely interesting discussion. But then "If the question gets a bunch of downvotes...I'll give up the 'cause'". | |
