I can maybe see this for the Q&A section, but I don't feel there's a need for it, because the "correctness" of the answers is already indicated by their ordering underneath the question (the answer with the highest XP rank is first etc.).

For all other sections, and particularly for SoPW I'd be opposed, it's called Seekers of Wisdom, not Seekers of Answers, because you can learn as much (if not more) from nodes which go off on tangents or present slightly less suitable solutions as from ones that just answer the question directly. Also, I'm not sure the OP is always the most qualified to judge which answer is best, and TIMTOWDI makes it hard to choose the "best" answer anyway.


All dogma is stupid.
