The "Late Answers" review page is described with the following phrase:.
Review late answers from new users
For what I could notice onOn Drupal Answers, most of the Stack Exchange site where I am moderator, many of those late answers given from new users are related questions written as answers; requests for more information necessary to answer the question; comments about having the same problem, and asking to the OP if a solution was found; spam.:
- Related questions written as answers
- Requests for more information necessary to answer the question
- Comments from users having the same problem, asking to the OP if they found a solution
- Spam
While not all the late answers are like this, between the late answers written by new users you can find answers that should be flagged as "not an answer." There are then answers that are only spam, which generally are written for old questions, even if I have also seen spammer using a question for spamming, and adding more spam as answers.
That is the reason why there is the "Late Answers"Late Answers review page.
If then the answerpost is a perfectly valid answer, younothing needs to be done (or the answer could be up-vote itvoted).
