| Feb 5, 2013 at 3:43 | comment | added | Mohit | @snailplane - Very interesting comment indeed! Very interesting! We knew it had been removed but we were yet to see any of its negative effects....this might just be one. | |
| Feb 5, 2013 at 0:44 | comment | added | WendiKidd | @snailplane Interesting thought. I didn't even notice the accept rate had been removed until I saw it mentioned earlier today--but that definitely would have been a good way to make users wonder "what's an accept rate? what does accepting do?" So it's a fair point that removal of the accept rate might have an affect on whether or not new users understand accepting. (I'll also comment that the check mark button on the beta-site skin doesn't much look like a check mark, IMO. I mean I can tell what it is since I know what it is, but...if I were a new user I'd wonder.) | |
| Feb 5, 2013 at 0:41 | comment | added | user230 | Is this the first beta to launch since accept rate was removed? (Well, it's still there, but it isn't displayed on questions anymore.) I think its stated purpose was to shame users into accepting, but maybe it was the main way new users learned that accepting was a good thing. | |

| Feb 4, 2013 at 22:30 | comment | added | WendiKidd | @bytebuster Fair point. However I'd almost expect those questions to be more likely to have accepted answers; after all if the question-asker's point is to add useful questions to bulk up the site, wouldn't they also want to accept the correct answer? | |

| Feb 4, 2013 at 20:57 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | One thing to consider is that the majority of questions have been asked by active promoters of the beta. Usually they know the answers to the questions they asked. | |
