Now that the , I've been spending some time browsing older retag requests to see which ones can now be completed.  , I tried posting the following answer:     Now that the ,   I see no reason why this tag can't be fixed.   I was then notified "Trivial answer converted to comment".  In this scenario, I think this is a significant enough development that it should be posted as an answer, and not as a comment.  How can I prevent my answer from being auto-converted to a comment?

I posted an answer (pointing to another question already asked) but when I hit submit, I saw my answer appear as a comment to the question instead.   I tried it a couple of times and still the same result. The answer gets eaten up and is transformed into a comment.   Is this a bug?

I'd like to post a question on StackOverflow, but I think I should be able to tag it with    . Poor me, there is no  tag; There is  and , I'm certainly not sure this is the right thing to do, so figure I'll start here.  Edit Question located here:

I was able to see , which has been flagged as not an answer, while going through the review tools. Is this supposed to be possible, or is this a glitch? If it's meant to be possible - what's the point of it? Surely being the OP I'm going to be biased and most likely wish to choose to disagree with the flags...    update:   I've been able to select "flag or disagree" and then say "I disagree"...   So, would there be some gaming involved here, if I was to agree with the flag, then delete my own answer (would I get a helpful flag for that), then undelete it (still leave my answer there)...?  However, as expected, it now appears to have disappeared from the queue as expected (or at least I assume it has, as it hasn't appeared in the 50 from multiple page reloads anyway...)  And here it is in flag history:

I just cast a close as dupe vote on a question here on Meta. In the past it used to push the auto generated comment live but now I can't see my comment after voting, only after I reload the page.  Can we get the old behavior back please? :)  Feel free to vote to close as dupe of some random question just to test, lol!  Also worth checking if same happens with flagging.  Edit, January 2014: still happens

I flagged  as very low quality on the grounds that it was an answer consisting only of links, and was notified:     very low quality – 18 hours ago   declined - a moderator reviewed your   flag, but found no evidence to support it   However, I now see that the answer has been "deleted by Robert Harvey♦ 12 hours ago"  What did I get wrong here? I thought link-only answers were discouraged? Also, the fact that the answer was deleted, suggests that I did not get it wrong.   It is getting somewhat confusing working out what to flag and what not to flag.

I don't care if the bounty disappears as what I want is a working answer. Since it's unlikely that the question will/can be answered, how can I indicate that the only answer that is on the question is wrong. I've put a comment on it, but that sort of disappears in "add / show more comments" collapsed area. The primary problem is that's it's been upvoted despite being wrong.  What I'm concerned about is that the answer will have automatically have a marker on it as having gained the bounty (by default) and that may mislead future readers into thinking that it's a correct answer.   The irony is that the answer is a good one, but not to my question.    Update: the question got a couple of answers that though don't work in my use case, could work for others  (i.e. they are not 100% answers) so the question of awarding is now resolved.

My understanding is that if an answer becomes CW (one way or another), original author gets to keep the votes pre-CW.  Does this also keep the pre-CW vote count for the tag-specific stat? It doesn't look like it, because I checked recently and suddenly my number dropped. It looks like the tag-specific stat just counts votes for non-CW answers, and doesn't "discriminate" between the pre-CW and post-CW era. If it's eventually CW, then it simply contributes 0 votes.  I'm fine with the fact that my answer became CW (in this case, through the question having 30+ answers), but I would like to keep the votes I earned before it did for the tag stat.  Otherwise I think the system is "broken". Someone can go posting 30+ answers to questions where Jon Skeet answered, and all of Jon Skeet's answers would become CW, and he'd then be 0 at all tags.

I was answering  question and was trying to post following url in comments but everytime it failed -    I searched on Meta and came across  post and tried the solution posted but url is already encoded and doesn't work.   Is there a way to make this work in comments?

I  to the question "" which was specific to the question asked.  Another user engaged positively with my answer, as there was a small conversation thread.  That person then  and made what I would say are minor modifications (the comments I left in my original code that pertained to the specific case are still in the places where he made edits to be more specific).  The answer does acknowledge that it is a general case of my specific code.  Ignoring the fact that I'm involved in it, what should one do when seeing this situation?  The only thing I can think of, and I'm not sure that it's necessarily the right solution, is to flag the answer for moderator attention.  Other possible actions, which I believe are wrong, are:   Editing the answer; that would change its intent Voting the answer down; it's a technically correct answer   One could leave a comment, but that can lead to confrontation and escalation (depending on the parties involved) which would be counterproductive.  The only thing I've done, which is not really related, is edit the answer to hyperlink the already existing attribution (but I do this as a regular edit for any answer which explicitly references another).  What's the best approach here, if any?

Following sequence of events occurred on :   First answer was posted, but was wrong. I posted my answer, which was correct :-) First answer was then modified to match my answer (with attribution)   Meanwhile, the first answer got a total of four up-votes, some from when it was still wrong. My answer has one. There is no accepted answer yet.  I guess this falls into the "grin-and-bear-it-and-move-on" category? What are the ethics of essentially posting a different answer which is still timestamped with the time of an earlier, incorrect answer? Is this flaggable?

Should we flag tiny "Have you tried this..?" type of answers?  I have been always inconsistent to this type of answers about in flagging part. Based on  example;   If this answer is a question (just for asking if he/she tried it or not), it should be a comment. This answer could be as a comment also and it would be better as a comment. But I don't think writing it as answer is wrong because the suggestion/solution could be the right answer also.   I always feel unstable when I see answers like that.  What is the right act to this type of answers? Should I flag them?

Look at  edit. I didn't really expect that I would able to suggest adding  tag, but I could!  How is it possible? (seems that usual users can add mod-only tags without moderator help!)  Edit  Oded removed  back :-(

A few questions I've run into lately are somewhat confusing, because they are vaguely asking about client-side operations and tagged with .  This can lead to users posting answers that are web related and not client related, or to situations like the one that , where my editing the question and answering the question became sort of a conflict of interest.  It seems likely, in the two instances of this that I've run into in this week alone, that the OP originally specified  for the question, which would have automatically synonymized to .  The questions are too vague with the latter.  In order to clarify these questions from web-related questions, I've been adding .  In this case, however, because I'd also answered the question I was accused of editing the question to fit my answer.  It could be that the assumptions I made were wrong, though I believe it's highly unlikely and I think that's probably a topic for a different post.  There's also a  complaining about this problem, and it does appear to be causing confusion.  JScript is a flavour of ECMAScript, as is JavaScript, so I can understand the desire to have the synonym, but I think in this case an exception should be made.  Examples:    (Conflicted answers, assuming browser or wsh)  (Comments required OP to clarify)  (First answer assumes browser)

I was reading  last night. When I got to the bottom, where the answer button usually is, I saw the following message in its place:     protected by Won't Jun 13 '11 at 16:28      Thank you for your interest in this question. Because it has attracted   low-quality answers, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on   this site.      Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?   I wasn't planning on answering it, but it did make me curious as I have 101 rep on the site. Is this a bug, or is there something I am missing?

When my vote to close my own question as duplicate was registered as a simple vote, I was a bit surprised, as I thought it'd immediately close for my own given reason, but the question of whether a user should be allowed to force a close-as-duplicate has already been addressed here on Meta.  However, when I later reloaded the page it was much worse:     I automatically leave a comment asking myself if something answers my question. Well, of course I think it does, otherwise I wouldn't have voted for that. "The system" picks up my on question and asks it to me again. Well darn, I just told you that it does — take my vote for an answer!   This can't be right!

Currently, if an answer is marked as "Very Low Quality", we are only given options to delete the post, or ignore the flag.  However, there are many times when the answer should be converted to a comment, but we can't, because the flag was wrong.  If an answer is flagged as "Very Low Quality", then I'd like to see the same tools made available for the post as if it was flagged "Not an Answer" (including , if it is implemented).  This would help the workflow considerably.  It should be noted that this is a technological solution to a community problem; we have people who are flagging posts that are not an answer as very low quality (and conversely, posts that are "Not an Answer" as "Very Low Quality", such as link-only answers).  Given that most flags are to be taken as an indication that something is wrong, and that we shouldn't nitpick over the type of flag (only if it was helpful or not, ), we should have access to all of the tools for an answer no matter what the flag is (because we aren't going to change the social conditioning, and rightfully so).

From this quote from , referring to the recent mass retagging here:  It left questions untagged. Yeah, it's meta, so there's required tags but those required tags are meta tags... literally. If a question doesn't have any tags other than the required tag, it's untagged! We don't prevent this, but maybe we should.  Do you agree with the point of view that questions here only consisting of required tags are effectively untagged? Should we prevent questions here on meta from only having one or more of the required tags , , , or ? I'm neutral about it; I just want to see what others think.
