Re: Solved? (aka "More On Thankfulness")

[cbrandtbuffalo]

I think this is a great idea (having the "solved" button to flag the node) for all the reasons mentioned. It would be nice to be able to sort them. I tend to read "solved" to learn something. I would go to "un-solved" to offer help.

Couldn't the [id://janitors] mark solved on anonymous posts, if they so desired?

But having a topic "solved" is a really personal matter. I would mark about 95% of all SoPW posts as "solved" without any reply, because to me, they are. And I would not like getting the burden of such a task, as the main aim of janitors is to clean up ill-formatted or ill-titled nodes and not "administration general".

I will agree with Corion - janitors should not be doing this. The point of proposing this convention is that it would not be a burden on anyone - whether pmdevs, janitors, or anyone else.

Adding the button means we have to wait for a pmdevil to make the patch, which, based on the results of previous threads on this topic, isn't happening. So I was just proposing something that wasn't supposed to actually strain anyone ;-)
