Badge Question: How do you get your answer accepted by the Asker?

Question

For the Linguist badge, how do you get answers accepted by the asker?

Gracias

This is your thread therefore you choose the best answer , what criteria you use is up to you , it may be because it was the best answer , or received the most votes , or they paid you a squillion dollars. - ray76, Jan 28, 2014

But you have to been choosen "as the best answer" 50 times to get this badge (if I understood it well). That's difficult :) - 00b5f6c6, Jan 28, 2014

A pic is worth a thousand words. I accepted Rac's answer as the best (because no one else posted and her instructions were good), and can un-accept them (doing nothing whatsoever). - Helado_eclectico, Jan 28, 2014

Also, I was picked as the best answer once or twice, and can confirm that it is both addicting and fuels you to do more research in order to answer better, thus learning more yourself, thus staying on this site longer ad infinitum - Helado_eclectico, Jan 28, 2014

Thanks for the help everyone! - 00ffada9, Jan 28, 2014

Answer 1

I believe when you ask a question, you have an option to select the "best" answer.

Could one of the Administrators confirm this? - 00ffada9, Jan 28, 2014

No disrespect intended Vevans. Just making sure. - 00ffada9, Jan 28, 2014

None taken! I usually don't know what I'm talking about anyway. :) - vevans, Jan 28, 2014

Vevans I seriously doubt that mate , you are always well versed in all things and answer with respect and intelligently. - ray76, Jan 28, 2014

But I like his attitude. I lean more if I don't take myself too seriously:) - dennywells, Jan 28, 2014

I think Vevans is right, so you don't need Administrator here. 50 x "choosen as the best answer"=linguist badge - 00b5f6c6, Jan 28, 2014

Yes. :) - ian-hill, Jan 28, 2014
