| Aug 25, 2016 at 22:16 | comment | added | Tim Malone | @EthanJinksO'Sullivan Just hang on for a bit for others to respond on that point in case I'm wrong ;) And re the new feature, it won't happen, see the comment I added on your question or search meta.stackexchange for the many times it's been asked. | |
| Aug 25, 2016 at 22:14 | comment | added | Ethan Rævan | @TimMalone Thanks. So I'll continue to do edits like the question above? Good to know about the 2k rep perk. But I still think it would be worth adding a new feature to have closure on some questions that were not officially accepted by the OP, but it's clearly solved. | |
| Aug 25, 2016 at 21:53 | comment | added | Tim Malone | @EthanJinksO'Sullivan I wouldn't flag for a moderator, as this sort of thing can be solved by the community. As noted above I think you did the right thing (and I would have done it too); once you have 2k rep your edits are applied automatically without needing approval so that threshold makes it a little easier to do this sort of cleanup. | |
| Aug 25, 2016 at 21:51 | comment | added | Tim Malone | I voted to approve this edit, because I believe it completely followed the askers intent: they wanted to provide the answer; it is entirely appropriate to move the answer from the question to an answer if they have had ample time to do so themselves, and there was already a comment on the question from last month asking them to do just that. It's the kind of edit I would have made if I came across it too. I see the edit has been rejected because it got two rejected votes though; if you agree with this rationale perhaps one of us can re-edit the answer. | |
| Aug 25, 2016 at 14:27 | comment | added | Ethan Rævan | This is where I see the dilemma on whether to flag it for a moderator close it or have the changes made myself, like I attempted to do. As I mention in my original post, I'd like have these questions with some closure to improve the community's records. | |
