Answers on Stackoverflow can't be edited just because they are dangerous
- CJefferson 12y agoThis is a question I myself asked on meta.stackoverflow, but I thought people might be interested in the answers (I was). Just because a top voted answer can lead to the generation of insecure PGP keys doesn't mean moderators can edit or delete it.
- davelnewton 12y agoIt wouldn't have even crossed my mind to delete an answer like this. Answers should be downvoted and/or commented on if you believe they're incorrect. If an answer receives downvotes it can then be voted for deletion; it takes only three "delete" votes (this may be rep-based, I don't know anymore since nothing I do will get me any more privileges) to delete it. This is a better process than potentially arbitrary deletion by a single person.
