Query For Ab Editor
114 Answers
I posted an entry entitled High Time in the News section recently and have since then certainly not - unless by touching something inadvertently - chosen a 'Best Answer'. However, I now see that one such answer HAS been given that accolade. Since the chosen answer was the second one offered, how on earth would I or anyone else have chosen it as 'best'?
I am not trying to denigrate the answer, as such, but I was never aware that such choices were simply taken out of one's hands. My query, therefore, is: "Are they?"

slaney...........this is now getting boring.
Yes........some answers in Crosswords do need research.
I am talking about a particular contributor to Crosswords who ROUTINELY gives BA to the first answer (whether right or wrong answer) after usually about 2mins maximum........not a lot of research.
I have suggested that a diplomatic suggestion by the Mod on duty at the time may solve this problem.
My second point is the congratulatory thread by another well known MOD on someone reaching 1,000 BA.s and the one that is congratulated is invariably a Crossword contributor gaining BA from the "turkey shoot" of the Aber in the above paragraph.......p1sses me off, for the reasons I have already given.
I hope this is self explanatory.

Ahh I see sqad - apologies. I was reading too much into your post at 16.16
"Yahoo Answers have a BEST ANSWER system but Crosswords are excluded.
To me this is a better system and values the work that goes into...Best Answers"
So you have difficulties with just the one poster then. But as he has posted about 1300 questions in the last 18 months, it can't have skewed the figures all that much. And crosswords and Q&P are very much the bread and butter of this site.
I will just have to accept without really understanding that this worries you a lot more than me.

I fail to appreciate the purpose of 'Best Answers' whilst arrangements are defunct for the allocation of Badges.
However, what I have found interesting in this thread was at 17.02Hrs the Editor said..." You probably hit the button by accident - or, alternatively, one of the editors did :)" ......That suggests there is more than just one Editor.
