Hey there,

In order to disallow users to accept answer on the reply, you can disable this ACL setting as shown in the screenshot. https://take.ms/0cL20

Am I missing anything?

Hello Irwin,

If I disable the ACL you are refering to then no user at all in the group can accept an answer, including the post owner.

Only the owner of the question (and moderators and above) should be able to accept an answer.
I believe this is how it should work (80-90% of the time)

If you Irwin ask "what are the colors of the malayian flag?"
Someone answers "purple and burgundy"
And a third user accepts that stupid answer....

Users can VOTE on answers but only the topic owner (and moderators, ...) should be able to accept the answer of his choice.
Otherwise stupid users (and there are many) will create a mess and make good users leave your website.
Or you are creating a website where the most stupid or the most funny is rewarded...possibly yes, but no.

At least there should be an option, under the ACL setting you are talking about, to select "post owner only can accept answer"

Do you understand my point of view?

As long as you disable this setting that I mentioned, only Super User, Moderators and post owner are able to accept the reply as answer.

Hello Irwin,

Thank you to double point your first answer.
I will give it a try.
But this is confusing as you are setting the ACL of a complete user group and the post owner is also in that user group... not very logical for a strict logical mind...

Hey Supporter,

You're most welcome.

Alright, sure.

Do keep us updated then.

By logically and right, the post owner should always have the right for it and should not worry about it if the setting is disabled because he is the owner of the post.
