  • Should these unfair tactics to get best answer be allowed?

    I noticed that many people are now using this tactic where they post a short and often incorrect or meaningless answer quickly so that they get the 1st answer to the question. They would then wait until other people provided correct and detailed answers. Finally they would edit their answer presumably using the other answers and give their own correct and detailed answer.

    This then gives them the best chance of getting best answer.

    I would suggest that Yahoo changes the system so when you edit an answer it then gets shifted down so it becomes last on the list. What do you think?
