There's lots of incentive for answering a question. We also provide our strongest rewards for answers: 10 whole rep per upvote, along with perhaps an accept. They're the whole reason the site exists. What defines the difference between updating an answer to be current, and going against the authors intent?Īnswers are our bread and butter. Is it appropriate to add completely new content to a question, where there is a new solution due to newer changes to the game? There is another similar question, however it does not appear to have had as much traffic, and the accepted answer appears to be a reference to the first question.
The same mod has answered a similar question, showing a markdown method to keep the original authors intent, but since has steered towards "leave a comment, alert the author" and "post your own, up to date answer". The consensus here is that out of date answers should be edited to be up to date. I have been linked to a few meta posts regarding the appropriate action. Good answers will not always apply to future patches, and questions may concern issues that simply do not exist in newer patches. It is a given that, with time, questions and answers will become out dated.
