| Aug 15, 2021 at 21:26 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | What happened to figuring things out for oneself?! :) Many users are developers, scientists, engineers, programmers I would expect them to know how a User Interface works. The site can't be expected to spoon feed every newcomer. Cheeziz... and you may be shocked to learn but there are users who never or rarely vote, edit, or accept a single answer, despite all the comments and links. @LoremIpsum I think that if one is even slightly motivated, they figure out how accepting/upvoting work. Don't forget, you only need 15 rep to upvote. | |
| Aug 15, 2021 at 21:16 | comment | added | user1030427 | Feedback on your last edits: The circumstances that should lead one to accept an answer are clear enough once you're an experienced member or if you know where to look. Big ifs there. People will hardly read the instructions, because they're boring and buried in the help center (hopefully they'll take the tour though), so don't expect them to go hovering about every one of the elements in the user interface or notice their colors to see what they do. | |

What is at stake is: Given a person (typically a new user) comments thank you, should or shouldn't him be nudged by a dialog box to a solution? By the way, I totally agree with your last sentence. | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 22:40 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | A person should be allowed to decide for themself. I have had good answers to questions of mine and yet I was not fully convinced or I could not decide between two or three answers and so I preferred not to accept a single answer. The time to add a bit of pressure is when a user posts something like 20 questions and never upvotes or accepts any answer that's the sort of behaviour I find annoying. | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 22:35 | comment | added | user1030427 | In my opinion there actually should be pressure (≠ harassment) to either accept or upvote an answer if OP has already acknowledged it solves his issue. This is simply the way of saying thanks and showing to other visitors that will stumble on the question that the answer is useful. If that is not to be encouraged, and instead is "needy", "desperate" or "not elegant", then let's abolish reputation and badges and etc. | |

I sometimes tell a user who has not accepted any answer despite asking dozens and dozens of questions and often receiving one or two answers that they need to accept an answer otherwise users will stop helping but only when I have not posted an answer myself. I do believe that there are some great writers/answers out there and they deserve recognition, but SE doesn't need to pressurize askers. | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 22:26 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | @LoremIpsum I'm saying there should be no pressure on anyone to accept an answer. The OP (iiSeymour) argued that users may not have read comments explaining the way to show gratitude is by accepting an answer: 1. I find that a bit "desperate" and "needy", I'm happier with an upvote by the OP, if an answer of mine has helped, even if it's a little, that's great. 2. Today if someone posts a comment encouraging (pushing?) the OP to accept an answer of theirs (not elegant) the OP is always notified. | |

| Aug 12, 2021 at 21:35 | comment | added | user1030427 | Can you clarify your point? Are you supporting the suggestion, rejecting it or proposing a workaround? If the latter, I don't find it good enough, because it requires manual intervention by a passer-by, moreover it generates noise and still does not account for the case "OP asks, gets it solved, comments and never comes back". | |
