I don't think anyone should badger someone based on their acceptance rate, unless they see the user had thanked them for the correct answer. I see what you mean about how it leads to bullying for acceptance, but at the same time I think it leads to more good than bad. It is important to follow up on questions that you asked when other people took time to help you. Plus, it helps others quickly see what the correct answer is. To your point, I do usually just look for the highest # of votes even if it is not the accepted answer. | |

Publicly showing the stats - sure it can be embarrasing - but it is sort of a necessary evil. People should accept their answers if they were given correct advise (IMO) | |

There is no need for that and it leads to all sorts of trouble. I don't have any problem with any metric being shown to the users themselves. | |
