    The BA was probably reported and deleted.

    Hi, couldn't pull up the link???

    BUT often questions might be forgotten in asking, or one might not see the alert to choose a best in their e mail and yet get an alert that the "community' chose a best. Odd as it may seem Y/A isn't at all perfect, (that was a tongue in cheek remark) i just got a BA last night for a question I answered a year ago??? It had gone to vote.

    that may not strictly "resolve" it in the askers mind, but we are in control of choosing, if we are attentive in keeping up with what we asked.

    I've been in Y/A long enough to know, and certainly you have too, that asking a valid question, might get a percentage of "TY for the 2 points" answers, as the question gets thought out, meaningful answers, but Y/A is a risk in that regard, we either accept or ignore.

    One answer says the BA may have been chosen and deleted. That is the most likely scenario but the question usually gets removed as well then. The only other possibility is someone working a scam?

    I am not too sure just what you mean or what that Q has to do with it. If a BA hasn't been chosen it goes into voting & if not then it will become a tiebreaker.There are a band of users who resolve tiebreakers foy YA.

    You got me! I think the second answerer on that question summed it up when they said "One of many new glitches.".
