On Bad answers That Are selected by asker?

Question

On questions that are answered improperly and the asker accepts it as the best,Don't you wish there was A category here for "Answers that went bad".? I have seen alot of answers that were accepted by the "asker" that I definately know had to mess up the askers project for they were totally wrong.Not that all my answers or the best, for there are many better as well, that I agree with.On this category I would like the askers to reply how it messed up thier projects, but not to mention the question givers name..by all means, I would not want to start a "range war' between users, but would like others to know not to use that solution/method/product in the future after seeing it as best answer...If yahoo could actually block any postings that include a members id in it..would not this be great?

yes, that would be awesome.... for the askers that choose "lame and wrong answers", I block them so i won't waste my time answering their questions anymore. i have atleast 150 blocked for that reason.

Sometimes I pick a bad answer as the Best Answer if it is so bad it needs a comment that I want the asker to see for sure, and that's the only way, since I chose not to email. An "Answers that went bad" category might be interesting, but I'm afraid it would become the biggest category on the site, and eventually just be a big flame fest.

Concerning "Answers that were wrong", you left out one important fact: There were no examples.  Thus, there can be no answer.
What are some of the Asker's projects?
Have you deduced one?

that sounds like a great idea, that would make this program more informitive but also more complex to manage
