You're absolutely wrong in that case. Particularly answers being "good" or "correct" is not part of the mission statement; and the rules reject fixes of questions by default for not being "in the spirit of the poster".
All SO aims for is having the most questions/answers. Nothing else.
- smsm42 10y agoThat wasn't my experience. In fact, this: > All SO aims for is having the most questions/answers. Nothing else. Is demonstrably false. If that were the only aim, questions would never be closed and there would be no need for a moderation system. They fact that they do have moderation system and do police questions and answers is the proof that quality is part of the equation.
- Mithaldu 10y agoThat just weeds out the questions that would make SO look obviously bad. It does nothing to affect the quality of answers that look ok, but are actually problematic. And in those cases "spirit of poster" always trumps correctness.
