| Oct 1, 2015 at 14:55 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | I don't like the idea of auto mark, but just a mod mark, and only when the OP told it worked with solution gave in an answer, as for up vote it only show what the community think is the answer, but for the same reason you give, as the unanswered allow re-come in the list | |
| Oct 1, 2015 at 13:05 | comment | added | peterh | @yagmoth555 But I don't think it would be a tipical case. What is much more common, is that the OP is long forgotten, but new and new answers are only coming and coming to the question, because the question comes always for in the "unanswered" list. | |
| Oct 1, 2015 at 13:03 | comment | added | peterh | @yagmoth555 I think their problem with it that the mod would "say" something in the name of the OP. Nobody likes to communicate in others' name. But, I think, in such cases it would be highly useful if a highly upvoted answer could get an automatic green pipe. | |
