Community Pillars should be able to flag bad advice
I have seen some bad solutions being provided here in the forums. Community Pillars like @tykus and @snapey have been screaming in the threads that it is bad advice, but no one seems to care or listen.
Example: Contactus form is not working
I have also seen an old post where the solution was to give complete access to S3 service on AWS just to upload an image. Huge security risk!
This bad advice is a source for frustration to both the OP and users posting correct / relevant content. God forbid someone marks this bad advice as the best answer... Some AI bot would digest it and start giving it out to the world as a gold standard! Damage can be exponential.
I think the way to curb this would be giving powers to proven experts - like community pillars - to flag bad advice. This would give clear feedback to the author and also to other participants in the thread. Flag it with a reason. I think that would be of great help.
Now, I hope my posts/responses don't get flagged first! 😅.
Does this make sense? Do you think it is worth pushing up the feature request queue?
What say community pillars? @snapey, @sinnbeck, @tykus, @bobbybouwmann, @michaloravec, @martinbean, @nakov, @jlrdw, @tisuchi, @cronix
