Can somebody explain to me why it is necessary to select an answer with a check mark when answers are posted for a specific question? Because I want to be as open minded as possible with all the answers I get for the questions I post. I don't agree 100% with all the answers but I definitely don't disagree with any of them. In fact, you learn more when you feel put-off by a response because it's a great opportunity to ask "What do I believe within me that I am feeling this emotion right now?" And, besides, when I see a check mark against a particular answer it is as if my ability to read all the answers & come to my own conclusions is already streamlined by this subtle psychological suggestion. So is it possible to still keep the feature, but be able to hide it as a default setting & the answer preferred by the poster can be revealed by clicking a particular field? |

You don't ever have to select an answer as the correct answer for a question. On some sites, such as StackOverflow, there is a greater expectation of a poster selecting the correct answer to a question, since it is also expected that users ask questions that can be answered correctly. However, the subject matter on this site can be far more subjective, and I would expect there to be a much lower percentage of answers that actually get a checkmark. If you wish, you can checkmark the answer which seems most correct to you, or most inspirational. But the software that runs this site doesn't have a feature for hiding the checkmarks. OK Thanks.

I saw this stackoverflow posted a few times and decided to check it out, I can now say I checked it out and know just as much as if I hadn't. lol I guess those are technical computer questions and answers. If you understand that stuff you are good at computers! :-)
