http://meta.osqa.net/questions/105/how-to-bypass-you-cannot-accept-your-own-answer-message My Question: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/21141/tags-for-returned-and-services-league-rsl-clubs I thank SK53 for his help, however I've come back and answered my own question. This leaves me with two options:
or
Neither option seems reasonable. Enabling Self AnsweringPros: Less clutter and easier to find answer Cons: Perhaps people can gain useless points, SO doesn't give rep for self-acceptance. I submit the pros far outweigh the cons. |

I think if you look at the unanswered tab you will see that there are many answered questions which haven't had an answer accepted, so the rare occasion when someone answers their own question won't add to this noticeably. Looking at the OSQA post you mentioned, it is perhaps best to ask an admin to mark your answer as accepted for you, though looking around this site and the wiki I'm not sure who that would be here. 3
I wish more answers got accepted, it is a nice feedback to the person who gave some of his time to write a good answer. I haven't noticed any "karma whoring" behaviour on this site, so I don't think it'd be an issue.

"an admin" is now anyone with a reasonably amount of reputation here (over 10k I think). Just say "I've asnswered my own question" and some one will usually mark it as an accepted answer.

@SomeoneElse: nearly: if I remember correctly our admin @tomh assigned "moderator" rights to a set of users (which resembled the top karma points users at that time).
