Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.
While I agree this seems to be the "official guidance", it is about 10 steps backwards from the discussion forums. It is simply a wall of posts with no ability to search them or structure them by topic. The signal to noise ratio is as bad or worse than the developer forums, and it is nearly impossible to focus in on a specific subject area. I guess this is not a SO problem but a Facebook fail in serving their developer community.
Facebook developers need a Q&A site for non-programming topics such as Facebook platform policy. Not discussion/community, but real answers with upvotes. It would be better to have a separate Stack Exchange site for Facebook developers so it would be inclusive of the broader scope of questions that need answers (and got answers on the soon to be read-only Facebook developer forums)
Thanks I understand the 550/275 math adding up now, which implies it was awarded as an auto-accept. Do auto-accepts still say "The question owner accepted this as the best answer yesterday."? Seems like it should say something different if it was an auto-accept, or that it should say the bounty was awarded and then say the owner accepted it to reflect the sequence of actions, if that is in fact what happened.
I think I get it. The full bounty was 550 (500 from the asker and 50 from the system) and I got half of that, so it must have been an auto-accept? It says the question owner accepted my answer yesterday, and the bounty was also awarded yesterday. Does that mean it was accepted by the owner after the bounty was auto-awarded? Or do auto-accepts appear the same as if the owner explicitly accepted?
