| Aug 20, 2012 at 23:25 | comment | added | Bot | Many tech companies use your SO account to judge your technical experience. I see an issue when you spend your time helping users for them to just run off with your code and not accept or upvote your answer. Because of this many users gauge the "acceptance rate" and the time it would take and work invested into said question, on if they want to answer it. | |
| Aug 20, 2012 at 20:03 | comment | added | Pops | Protecting this because it's still attracting new answers, those new answers aren't really adding anything of substance and there's already more written here than any reasonable person would ever want to read. | |

| Jul 3, 2012 at 18:43 | comment | added | apsillers | Is the fundamental problem non-technical comments or is it rudeness? The question and the top-rated answer do not obviously distinguish the two issues. Should we flag polite, didactic comments that link to "How does accepting an answer work?" since they do not aim to solve the asker's question? If that's true, then any discussion or public enforcement of social norms outside of Meta (including links to the FAQ and relevant Meta posts) should also be flagged as similarly off-topic. If a user does not understand how the accept system works, it is detrimental to SO to leave him ignorant. | |

| Oct 3, 2011 at 6:43 | comment | added | Bart Kiers | @Tomas, IMO it isn't. I'd bet that the majority of the people with 0% acceptance rate simple don't know how "things work" on SO (or othe SE sites). Explaining nicely doesn't take much more words than posting a clipped (or even harsh) response. | |

| Apr 27, 2011 at 14:55 | comment | added | Anthony Pegram | @Jon, I agree. I wish the statistic would just be removed. Let the system notify the user directly via an automatic message if the acceptance rate is below some threshold, but do not include it with a question. It's of no significance. | |
| Apr 2, 2011 at 10:52 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @jon we think this is because we have an influx of very low quality users who don't ever accept answers -- not so much an influx of rudeness. That said, do flag such comments for mod attention. | |
| Apr 2, 2011 at 7:48 | comment | added | Jon Skeet | This problem is getting worse. I see comments like this pretty much every day. Incredibly rude, IMO. | |
