Adding a "Propose Answer" button

Hello,

I see that we can give Super Users the rights to mark a Best Answer, though with a large enough community, that’s not always scalable.

An idea one of our users proposed was almost like a voting feature:

Add a button called Propose Answer.  If X people click it, then it gets marked as Best Answer.

This way, stale threads are cleared out by the community at large,

Thoughts?

I like this idea. It’s like a crowdsourced solution where the most likely solution gets highlighted when enough people say “The solution proposed in this comment worked for me”.

Thanks, @bjoern_schulze !!  I use the same word all the time….crowdsourcing is a great way to get things done!

Ideally, the option would allow me to set the number of ‘votes’ that result in a marked answer.  

Mu community might have 100 users, yours has 10,000, so saying ‘3 votes is a Best Answer’ needs to scale accordingly.

Thanks for suggesting this idea, mstruening.

After evaluation, we've decided not to move forward as we've determined that there are technical and architectural constraints that make this difficult to implement in a sustainable way today. We truly appreciate the thought behind this and the time you took to share it.
