there should be a "not an answer" flag << I totally agree.

A "kludgy workaround" tag would be pretty useful, too.

Should this not be implicit by a negative score?

@AngryAnt There are times I have asked a question, it has answers with up votes, but they are wrong. Since I asked the question I am the only one who actually did the leg work to validate the answers, while others up vote because it just sounds good. The question asker should have a veto on answers, and on second thought it could actually carry a down vote penalty.
