| Jan 23, 2013 at 16:14 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | Accept rate was removed: meta.stackexchange.com/a/164654/140951 and there is an answer there asking for the rate to be shown on the profile page: meta.stackexchange.com/a/136959/140951. It's 1/2 done. But all of the relevant details are in the post I linked to (they're different answers on the same question). | |

| Dec 26, 2012 at 19:09 | comment | added | user159834 | @Geo: I think you misunderstood my comment. It's really not useful at all, except perhaps as a way to say the user might not know about the "accept" feature if they have 0% (then the nagging comments come raining down). It's safe to say if the AR is over 0%, they are aware of the feature. Who cares if your accept rate is 100% or 87%, or 50% for that matter? Answers (are supposed to) help more than just the OP, so IMO it's pretty lame to withhold a response based on the possibility that your answer might not get accepted in a timely fashion. | |
| Dec 26, 2012 at 18:47 | comment | added | Geo | @WesleyMurch, okay I see. I guess it might be useful after all in a long run. I.e. it sort of tells you how much the user is involved and weather s/he is going to care about your answer, etc. Perhaps, it should not show up until I get such a rate myself first? This way, once I know my “accept rate” I would understand what others are. Or change the name to be “answers accepted rate”. | |
| Dec 26, 2012 at 18:13 | comment | added | user159834 | @Geo: That's exactly what I thought until after I had been a member of SO for a while. Coming to SO from Google, I was always reading comments about "improve your accept rate" and had no idea what it meant, but it gave me the indication that accept rate was very important. | |
| Dec 26, 2012 at 17:15 | comment | added | Geo | My 2 cents: "Accept Rate" is deceiving and should be moved/removed/rethaught. I thought it was an indicator of how the community accepts this user. Up until I read the manual here on meta.. | |

| Jan 17, 2012 at 13:25 | comment | added | user159834 | @bluefeet: Feel free to add an answer so your particular points can be discussed (and voted on) without being buried in a chain of comments. Or are you put off by my 69% accept rate? ;) | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 13:02 | comment | added | user159834 | I see a lot of disagreement via downvotes, but not much explanation of why, just the "possible help vampire" argument. I would love it if someone could explain why prominent display of accept rate is so useful, because I truly don't get it. In my experience, all it does is generate unhelpful "fix your accept rate" comments, which are auto-nuked on the first flag. If folks were polite and helpful, and just linked to the FAQ on the subject, that would be great - but that's not what actually happens. | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 13:02 | comment | added | Anthony Pegram | I absolutely, whole-heartedly support this suggestion. I wish I could +1000. | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 12:46 | comment | added | user159834 | Somewhat related suggestion: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/82446/… | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 12:37 | comment | added | user159834 | @davidsleeps: I personally think that's a great suggestion as well, I guess this one sort of takes the middle ground. | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 12:33 | comment | added | davidsleeps | @Madmartigan I agree it isn't a duplicate because you are only talking about moving it from questions to somewhere (where as I suggested it be removed entirely)...sorry | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 12:32 | comment | added | davidsleeps | @Madmartigan I agree 100% with you...and essentially you are saying the same thing- that it isn't that useful or helpful... | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 12:31 | comment | added | user159834 | @davidsleeps: If you read my post, that's not what I'm suggesting at all. Although I do agree with this point on the accepted answer there: "I think the current method -- showing a percentage -- is somewhat counterproductive. There are posts here on meta about people getting bothered even with percentages above 65%." Moving accept rate to the user profile is what I'm suggesting. | |

| Jan 17, 2012 at 12:00 | comment | added | user159834 | @BenBrocka: I covered that in my post I thought. Explain to me why indicating a possible "Help Vampire" is so important that it needs to be on every page. There are plenty of Help Vampires with a high accept rate as well. Weigh that against the negative aspects, bearing in mind that I suggest accept rate be shown on the profile page, not gone altogether. | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 11:58 | comment | added | Mad Scientist | There were some ideas from the SE team on replacing accept rate with a "citizenship" metric. | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 11:56 | comment | added | Zelda | It's an indicator of a Help Vampire on many sites. If their accept rate is low because they really haven't received objectively acceptable answers, chances are they're asking neigh-unanswerable questions, depending on the site. And still, the community decides what it means, it's not like we're programatically punishing people based on the number. | |
