| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:27 | comment | added | πάντα ῥεῖ | @einpoklum You can leave an appropriate comment, if you think that makes the situation better. | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:27 | comment | added | einpoklum | @πάνταῥεῖ: About the amnesia no, about the question for which it is not clear whether the answer is valid, maybe there is. (Or maybe there isn't, that's why I asked.) | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:26 | comment | added | πάντα ῥεῖ | "What if OP was in a car crash and now has amnesia?" There's nothing you can do about that, so what? | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:26 | comment | added | einpoklum | @RobertCartaino: Related, but not a dupe, because I'm talking about a situation in which it is likely the user will simply not notice any encouragement, since s/he isn't active on SE network any more. | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:25 | comment | added | einpoklum | @πάνταῥεῖ : see my edit. I'm worried about validity rather than usefulness. Also, it's completely up to the OP - if s/he actually considers it. What if OP was in a car crash and now has amnesia? | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:24 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | The short answer is "nothing"; accepting an answer (or not) is completely voluntary. I'm sure this has a comprehensive answer... somewhere. See if this is answers your question: Ways to encourage users to 'Accept' answers. Is it a dupe? | |

| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:23 | comment | added | πάντα ῥεῖ | It's completely on behalf on the OP to accept an answer or not. Also an accept mark is the least sign of usefulness of an answer. | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:22 | comment | added | einpoklum | @πάνταῥεῖ: It's implied in my questionn the answer merits an upvote (or at least, not a downvote) - but how does that help it get accepted? Ok, you know what - let me make my question a bit clearer. | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 15:20 | comment | added | πάντα ῥεῖ | We're judging contents, not users. So if you find that posts useful, simply upvote, if not downvote as usual. | |
