| Nov 4, 2015 at 12:20 | comment | added | Daniel W. Farlow | @Najib There's not really a focus on quality answers--quality answers are more problematic, but the main issue is any useful answer at all (even hints). As you know, there are several garbage answers that exist on this site (most, I think, have been culled out, but some still exist)--they're not the real problem, but the qualitative distinction(s) between answers is not the main problem here. It would make sense for no answer to be visible. That's how it should be, it seems. I only mentioned "quality answers" in this post because it seemed particularly relevant. | |
| Nov 4, 2015 at 12:13 | comment | added | Najib Idrissi | @NormalHuman Even moderators get suspended sometimes, and it's hard to think of a reasonable solution (assuming there's an actual problem to be solved) that cannot be circumvented by moderators... | |
| Nov 4, 2015 at 12:12 | comment | added | Najib Idrissi | I don't understand your focus on "quality answers". It seems to me that any answer at all would be a problem here -- 10k users who want to cheat probably won't care if the answer is of "good quality" or not as long as it's good enough to allow them to cheat. | |

| Nov 3, 2015 at 22:54 | comment | added | achille hui | If we cannot put some amount of trust to people who contributed to math.SE after getting a certain amount of rep points. then we should just close down this site. | |

| Nov 3, 2015 at 22:23 | comment | added | quid | One could delete them completely, then they'd be harder to find. Other than that I think there is no way without getting SE involved. (With SE there is a more-or-less standard procedure for removing content that should not be only soft-deleted but I think it will make it hard to restore it.) | |
