Site prevents you from accepting your own answer for 48 hours, so that bulletpoint was irrelevant

| Aug 28, 2019 at 18:45 | comment | added | Someone_Evil Mod | You can't accept your own answer until 48h has passed, which is generally the time space where most of the (up)voting happens anyway. | |
| Aug 28, 2019 at 18:36 | comment | added | Please stop being evil | Accepting your own answer also decreases the visibility of your question; a question with an accepted answer is likely to get less views since it displays differently on the main page and also doesn't enter the unanswered questions section even if the answer isn't yet upvoted. | |
