Sep 7, 2016 at 11:00 comment added törzsmókus thx for the meta link, I see your point. However, see also this answer about incorporating useful info into top answer. Maybe the top answer could be turned into Community Wiki? p.s. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” ;)
Sep 7, 2016 at 8:21 comment added Jpsy No, @törzsmókus, you'r still wrong. While CC license applies to all content here, it is still NOT allowed to copy from one answer to a question into another answer to that same question. This has nothing to do with CC but with the rules of StackExchange. There is no need to start a Meta on this as there are already plenty of them, all with the same result: It is a no-go. See this example: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/269396/…
Sep 7, 2016 at 8:14 comment added törzsmókus while understanding your disappointment, the cc-by-sa license applies to everything you publish on this site. that allows copying with proper attribution. you may start a thread on meta or meta.webapps to get a clear view of the issue. and oh, btw, the main purpose of this site is to provide useful information to everyone; the rep system is just a fancy incentive :)
Sep 6, 2016 at 9:12 comment added Jpsy No, copying is not allowed. It is allowed to link to another answer, but not to copy. Copying breaks the idea of reputation based answering. And my answer is not a detail, but a complete, more elegant way to solve the problem. As you said yourself: "this should be the accepted answer." So why should I go with 2 reps only?
Sep 5, 2016 at 14:44 comment added törzsmókus btw, you could have just edited their answer instead of adding that detail in a separate answer. you even get 2 rep for that :)
Sep 5, 2016 at 14:43 comment added törzsmókus technically, they are allowed to do so IF they link to your answer.
Sep 5, 2016 at 13:12 comment added Jpsy Thanks, but the poster of the accepted answer now chose to add my solution as an update to his answer. Not funny.
