Q&A Suggestion for allowing to mark answers as "accepted", "outdated" or "dangerous"

I was part of that conversation, so my input is mostly reflected in this proposal already. I want to add one thing, about community customization, which gets into philosophy. I don't want us to en...

Q&A How should we approach our (non-developer) software community proposals?
