| May 12, 2017 at 2:42 | comment | added | Wildcard | @Jamal, actually, I could easily imagine someone stumbling across an unanswered question page on their way to finding a solution, then finding a solution, then going back to the question page as an unregistered user and posting an answer that starts out, "I had the same problem, and what solved it for me was...." And if that gets blocked, do you think they'll stick around to figure it out? No, they'll be gone, and so will the knowledge they would have shared. | |

| Oct 29, 2016 at 21:37 | comment | added | Greg Lee | I don't see the point of this. What is so awful about giving a comment in an answer or an answer in a comment? Just because the software makes a formatting distinction, that doesn't mean there actually is a clear distinction. | |
| Oct 23, 2016 at 15:10 | comment | added | Mark Bennet | Since this is an issue which will impact new users it needs to be considered as part of that wider review. In particular, new users could usefully receive some guidance/reminder on positive strategies for gaining reputation so they can participate more fully in the site. Overpolicing of this rule can contribute to a less than optimal early experience for new users. | |
| Oct 21, 2016 at 11:14 | comment | added | Lundin | I always thought this was a very silly rule. We expect far higher standards from a posted answer than a posted comment. The solution is to get rid of the rule. I believe the main reason why the rule exists is some moderator tool implementation fiasco that makes it harder for mods to moderate comments than answers, and to protect against spam. | |
| Oct 17, 2016 at 22:07 | comment | added | Jamal | Yes, absolutely this. Even if it leaves answers that request some kind of clarification (which they may insist on doing anyway), then so be it. At least helps in some way. But these three answers that you mention at the bottom just need to go away forever. | |

Slight clarifications.
