Reply and validate....

29 Views

Since recently I started replying to questions posted on this site.

What I noticed (a lot) and experienced was the following scenario:

a. New question posted;

b. a reply with the correct answer;

c. another reply which was not correct;

d. another reply which rephrased the correct reply as given earlier;

e. points awarded to the last person.

Therefore my suggestion to this site is the following:

When replying, "lock" the thread, after the reply is submitted keep the thread locked. The originator will based on the reply, open or close the thread again after which a new reply can be submitted, etc.

Obviously this process is more fair and will reduce a lot of duplicate replies....

Kind regards,

Robert

PS. I apologize if this has been suggested already, I did not do a search on it....
