NO QUESTION - Answers vs Comments in Q&A forum
I would like to understand use of "answer" and "comments". The FAQ states small remarks can be left using comments but I can see many answer as 1st comment from users with high karma like here ...this confusing me a bit.
I suggest to promote users to provide the answer using "Answer" instead of "Comment". Why not ? Is there some rules about ?
I think that using comments for the answer leaves the question without a visible solution and it encourages large discussions.
This just my opinion, delete if this is not the right place.
EDIT:
Maybe my question should be posted as suggestion for Q&A improvement here.
Anyway I've opened this discussion because of my starting point is about how to use this Question & Answer.
I suppose that
- If a question has received an answer this should be visible in the question list irrespective of answer complexity
- In case of the answer is not well formed/completed, additional clarification can be requested using comments before posting it
- In case of the answer needs some modifications due to extra clarification, it can be edited
- If an answer it works it would be accepted by the questioner or by the author. This ensures that the question doesn't stay open (FAQ)
Thank you
