No more answers possible when a best answer is chosen?

Maybe I am missing something, but it is still possible to reply to one of the answers but not give another answer once a best answer is chosen?

Just surfing through this site I found several questions where it would have been of help to add another information without caring if or if not this is chosen the best answer, but I will not just pick anybody elses answer and reply to it just to add my point.

Conclusion: Mahalo is missing out on answers people could give (think updates or additional relevant information).

That is certainly something that could be helpful to have as an option. There have been several times that I have wanted to give additional information on a question even though the "best" answer had been given. This is something you should suggest at feedback@mahalo.com!

I agree with what you are saying, but users don't care about that. How I see it now is a bunch of people running around after M$ and points, not after quality. You should request this idea (mail on top of page) and hope that Mahalo would realize the same thing as you do.

Of course they do, it is a game as long as the rules reward quality. As for the feedback - I expect the team to monitor this simple forum on their own and draw conclusions ...

This is questionable, as once an answer is chosen as a "best" answer, the person who asked the question is satisfied with the answer they have chose as the best. You may want to suggest to Mahalo, yet I do not believe it's likely this will change because it would defeat the purpose of the best answer already chosen.

But once they improve the search on Answers there is a good chance people will start looking for an answer to their question before asking. Having the option to give extra information after the 'best' has been picked would give those in the future even more information to consider!

Then separate them - answers before chosen and after chosen or something like it. Just making it about the one person asking a question and getting the answer means a very self centered system, not encouraging linking or spreading of informationen.

Btw . as a normal user I am encourages by the system to choose a best answer which I can do after a small amount of time if I already have some 'okay answers'. I will never see the possible other answers because without knowing it, I will remove the possibility to answer a question.

How is that about getting the best answer, especially when you consider something like timezones? :)
