in reply to ALive Nodes

It's a known problem that has no acceptable solution.

Even after some answers a node could be still unanswered, and I'm inclined to think that sometimes people that did not answer a question but add some pointless comment to a node do more harm than good, and, regrettably, it is not very rare case, especially for "hard-to-answer" questions.

Easy questions quickly receive a lot of good answers though.

    Few Ideas:
    • Author can ask editors to set a flag for the node which is not answered properly.
    • Flag is set automatically when the question is asked, and not answred in 24 hours. As soon as the first answer is recieved, the flag is cleared. Author will have right to set the flag again for the first 24 hours. Then request to editors must be made. Flags get automatically cleared after the new answer.
    • Any user can request editors for any node that he/she thinks that is not answred properly.
    • Voting system for higher level monks for determining if the question is answred properly.

    Single or the combination of ideas could be applied to get more satisfaction out of monastery.
