| May 23, 2017 at 21:12 | comment | added | English Student | @ab2 thank you. This is especially important because some members felt that 'something wrong with OP's question' provoked all those loose cannon answers, leading to the Q being closed. Now that the question has been edited, improved, reopened and even reclaimed by OP, the wrong answers should also disappear, because they will not only mislead future readers but also affect the academic profile of this great website. Your support and interest is highly appreciated. | |
| May 23, 2017 at 19:13 | comment | added | ab2 | I think that is correct. The answers do not qualify as spam, Not an Answer, or Very Low Quality, for which there are flags and a review process by >3,000 rep users. The review can kill an answer. There is also a flag for moderator review, but I don't think that flag would work in this case. I advise waiting 24 hours to see the correct answer rises as a result of the reopening; if not you could ask another Meta question about whether there is any solution to having wrong answers appear as right answers. Also, downvote the wrong answers and upvote my comment on the two highest voted answers. | |
| May 23, 2017 at 17:17 | comment | added | English Student | @ab2 thanks for the information and feedback. Do you mean that there is no way to get rid of a demonstrably wrong answer other than letting it sink by voting? Wrong answers have collected a huge number of upvotes on that question! | |
| May 23, 2017 at 17:10 | comment | added | ab2 | It is now reopened. This situation is similar, although not identical, to english.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/10166/… There, an incorrect answer had been accepted. The other difference was that the OP was around, and responsive. I read the entire discussion, here and on the original question thoroughly, and upvoted Hamilton's answer. Maybe enough people will do the same so Hamilton's answer will rise to the top. | |
| May 23, 2017 at 16:42 | comment | added | English Student | english.stackexchange.com/questions/389766/… I have now edited this question as advised by members, in an effort to make it clear enough to reopen. | |
