| Feb 6, 2015 at 15:36 | comment | added | Wolfgang | If a question is trivial and the answers are given in a comment, but after some days neither has the commenter transformed the comment into an answer, nor has the OP created such an answer, maybe a good solution would be to put it "on hold" with a motive something like "The question has been answered in the comments." | |
| Jan 29, 2015 at 18:58 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I think turning comments into answers depends on question quality. Pretending for now that there is agreement on a standard of quality, I would prefer to see low quality questions unanswered, and rather see effort turn them into high quality questions. As an example, instead of seeing a question equivalent to an undergraduate or "teeth-cutting" exercise explained in full in an answer, I prefer either a hint in a comment or two, or else see the question reworked into a broader example of which the initial question is an introduction.
