A Suggestion

Question

Hi Mahesh I have found a big issues in forums say we are answering to users questions most of the time they are NOT motivated to mark it answer(If it is correct) because of they got answer and get ready to post next question or to continue them work. So you need make sure or give the points based on answers by a moderator . then it will help to to supporters. i hope you will take care. Thank you

We have thought about it a lot and I think interferance of a moderator is going to add a lot of work for moderators and site editors. Say tomorrow if we have 200 questions in a day we have to read all of them and it is not necessary that we really know answer to all. Microsoft can do anything they want. They have their employees and funds ;). Unfortunately we have very limited resources.

This is a very relevant problem with no simple answers. In the MSDN forums Microsoft personnel look at unanswered questions and usually mark replies as answers but they often do that just to get questions closed. The person asking a question might not be interested in an answer that others would be. When I do ask questions I get really frustrated when people go sideways on me and tell me things I am not interested in. It might help to differentiate between answers that the person asking accepts and answers potentially helpful for others.

If so I want to suggest to add checkbox - Moderator recommended (or acceped) answer. So it will be stimul to give best answer for asker also. :-) I mean that the answer should be clear not only for qualified professional (moderator) but also for begginer asker.

Hi Nikil Thank you i have message for you when you are give answer to users just point the solutions only  don't write a complete article to a simple answer. i hope you will understand. When you are compose your are answer from scratch its time waste to users. So you need think save time and give the correct and short answer to users. Thank you

I think this is not a bad idea. We will have to implement moderator feature on the forums and also we will make Mark Accepted Answer more visible and clear in the next code update. We will also add reminders in the email notifications to the poster to mark answer as accepted. I think that will help. Thanks again for the feedback and hard work you guys are doing.

I am not sure that this is correct. First - this is mach more work for moderator of forum. Second - only asker may deside that this is THE ansver - even if suggested code is good and correct - this is not garantie tha this solution exactly will solve the problem of asker.... I see that askers basicaly wants to get end-solution (working code) and do not likes the ideas and sudgestions...
