Should "best answer" update as if someone replied?

So I might have made some spam after I went to mark a few old question I had that I had forgotten to mark thanks to https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/requests/discussion-flags for the reminder

Now that I did that I also noticed that all the post got updated, the marked answer is now 'name' replied 'time' ago

so yea, marked like 7 posts, made 7 updates come to All Threads that might not be useful?

Yeah, the questions go on top based on the main thread updated_at timestamp. So no matter if someone replied or made a change in the reply, or you marked an answer as "Best Answer" it always touches updated_at timestamp on the main question and it pops up as latest in the forum.

@joveice, Just to prove a point, you marked the question as "Best Answer" 2 minutes ago. I will modify it now, and the question will again appear on top with reset timer.

Gotcha, I just thought it might have been disabled as I don't see the use case to know that etc a post was updated or marked.
