If a question I asked gets answered by multiple users. And all of them solve the question satisfactorily, which answer should I accept?
- Should it be the one that was posted first (first come first served)?
- Should it be the one that is the longest (cause the user put in more effort)?
- Should it be the one that is the shortest (cause it's concise and to the point)?
Now consider another scenario in which multiple answers are given but not one addresses the complete issue? Reading answers from user-1 and then from user-2 clarifies the concept. So should I accept the answer from user-1 or from user-2?
Edit:
Is it okay to combine the essentials of all the answers into one post and answer your own question? And then accept it?
