Afterall, you wouldn't want the answer to get too much more attention than the others either, given that you don't actually think it's perfect already. ;-) | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 17:58 | comment | added | Alex | @TARS We thus end up with a case where the scores are 39, 32, and 9, even though the last answer is just as good if not better than the other two answers. Accepting the later answer during the time it is a Hot Network Question, will help it get the visibility it otherwise wouldn't get. | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 17:58 | comment | added | Alex | @TARS the case(s) I'm thinking of is a new question that became a Hot Network Question and has a several hour gap between the first answers and the last answer. By the time the last answer is posted the earlier answers can already have 10-20 upvotes, so there is virtually no chance of the later answer being displayed at the top of the page. Many viewers (especially those just stopping by from the Hot Network Questions link) will never scroll far enough down the page to get to the later answer. | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 17:53 | comment | added | TARS | @Alex But...isn't your whole point here about good new answers to older questions? If the whole question is just 2 days old, you oughtn't need to "level the playing field" anyway. If that is the timeframe you're concerned about here, you...might be getting a little too much into vote micromanagement. | |
| Jan 8, 2019 at 17:16 | comment | added | Alex | Note that bounties can't be started until two days after the question is posted, which in most cases will be after it has left the Hot Network Questions list. A day at the top of the page of a Hot Network Question will probably get it more upvotes than seven days as a featured question. Plus it's free. | |
