| Mar 1, 2011 at 8:20 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse Mod | @Diago not everyone is going to bring their questions to us, just because we're the best place to get them answered. Besides, I'm not worried about spam, because who's recommendation would you prefer: that of a high rep user you trust or someone representing the company? What I think would be more important is that users feel they're asking their questions in 'the right' place and that they'll get an answer. If Microsoft says: heej, you can trust these guys! I think that's a big plus for our Q&A | |
| Mar 1, 2011 at 8:14 | comment | added | BinaryMisfit Mod | One of the few times I disagree with you and agree with @Shog9. An answer should stand on it's own and it does 100% apply to even Super User or Apple. What makes the site successful is that a newbie in Windows might answer a complex Windows question with a good answer, why should we discount them because they are branded Linux. The problem with branded answers is that they skew the way we look at the answers and question. Remember SE is about the Q&A and not about the users. The users and it's management is a by product. | |

And with branded I would just mean a small icon or something on the flair to distinguish it | |
| Feb 27, 2011 at 21:29 | comment | added | Shog9 Staff | I hate the idea of "branded" answers. MS is probably a bad example simply because of their size, but... There's a world of difference between a C# answer by Eric Lippert and "random MS employee #37235". Answers, in general, should stand on their own without needing author credentials to lend them credence. | |
