Proposed Solution

Internally, we've been discussing how we can deal with obsolete or out-of-date answers. A few weeks ago, I requested some feedback on how to encourage edits to these types of answers, while I'm still wading through everything on that post but now I'm focusing my attention on the problem of negatively scored accepted answers.

• Can we exempt downvoted accepted answers from getting the top spot?
• Keeping special status for Accepted Answers without sticking them to top forever?
• Why are negative score accepted answers still at the top?
• Don't put heavily downvoted accepted answers at the top
