| Apr 30, 2017 at 6:11 | comment | added | SirTechSpec | Fastest Gun in the West is a problem here too. I have a couple answers to what turned out to be popular questions that I sometimes wish I could take back - not because I don't think they're decent, constructive answers, that technically adhere to GS,BS and are better than nothing, but because they're based on general experience, and I imagine that somewhere out there is someone with more specific experience who could write a better answer that more narrowly adheres to the spirit of GS,BS but is discouraged from doing so by the upvotes my "good enough" answer (and any others) already got. | |

| Apr 27, 2017 at 21:32 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @Korvin Probably! (But in the Long Now SE aims at, who knows what will happen with it a long time from now. Maybe it will be rehabilitated by future smart ideas we develop on meta.) | |
| Apr 27, 2017 at 21:29 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @SevenSidedDie thanks. Given a couple of high voted answers, and one accepted, I doubt any more activity will occur from querent end. | |
| Apr 27, 2017 at 21:26 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @Korvin It's kinda moot on a closed Q since Schoedinger-like we don't know what Q that answer is supposed to align with until it's edited to draw open-votes. I'd leave it as-is; it's well-supported and can be adjusted or whatever need be done when/if there's an open Q to measure it against. (In the meantime too it may still help, in incidental ways, people hitting it from search/Google.) | |
| Apr 27, 2017 at 20:54 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @SevenSidedDie real quick as this seems to have been a problem question that I answered while it was still system agnostic ... does my answer demonstrate a bad answer GS/BS or good, or something in between? Trying to get a barometer reading here. Once the question later went to 4e, after all of the back and forth, the answer was not as germane to the question as I'd no 4e experience to offer. | |

| Apr 19, 2017 at 6:06 | comment | added | Eidolon108 | I think maybe we need stronger criteria for GS/BS, like requiring that all answers on a question the mods or community flag as GS/BS have a section with an "Experience" header describing the experience you have with your proposed solution, or some other thing we can use to make clear examples of good answers. People can still make up their "experience", but the legitimacy of that section could be judged by voting on the answer | |
| Apr 19, 2017 at 6:04 | comment | added | Eidolon108 | I see this as one of the thornier community issues too. I think when I first came to this site, I had the tendency to upvote everything I agreed with, but I've come to realize that that sort of behavior is counterproductive if we want constructive and well supported answers. Lately, I've been taking a stance of methodically downvoting every answer on those types of questions where there isn't support/experience, even if I agree with the advice. | |
| Apr 18, 2017 at 14:53 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @Baskakov_Dmitriy This isn't really a mod issue. It's more that the community itself seems to be unsure how to handle these, so moving one active user from column A to column B won't really affect this. (And one more mod doesn't alter the problem of decision fatigue making manual curation prohibitive.) | |
| Apr 18, 2017 at 12:45 | comment | added | R.I.P.30.12.21Baskakov_Dmitriy | I hope that this would be less of an issue when the site gets more moderators (as you will have more human hours for handling this). | |
