The community can choose the "best answer" -- by upvoting it a lot. The highest voted answer is the answer the community feels is best. The accepted answer is the answer the asker feels is best. There's no reason to let the community pick the accepted answer -- we already had our say | |

The user can still get the reputation points so they are not hung out to dry, and the community will not suffer from having questions without solutions. While it's not really the "solution", at least it will carry some weight. | |
