Why Can i choose "Best answers" in others posts? :D

[Casper Traberg-Larsen]

As title says.. Why can i do that?!

This isn't worth a post... you can't 'best answer' your own answer or everyone could do that and get loads of badges and awards.

Let me rephrase. I can "Pick as the solution" on any post in any thread... Even though i did not start the thread or even participated in it..

Once you have received 5 best answers of your own you are granted the power to choose best answers in threads not your own.

However, with great power also comes great responsibility.

The rules are quite simple:
1. If the thread originator has chosen an answer you leave it alone, period.
2. If you come across an obviously abandoned thread (2 or more months old) with no chosen answer you may choose one.
3. If you come across a thread with an answer that is obviously wrong, or a better one exists, you may change it, unless the answer was chosen by the thread originator, in which case you abide by rule #1.
4. You do not choose an answer in an active thread unless you are the thread originator.
5. Do not use multiple accounts to award best answers to one another. You will be permanently banned for this.

The moderator team is quite adept at spotting and dealing with abuse of the BA system, so be very careful with the power.
