Accepted Answer?

In SomeOther systems, there is an easy way to mark an Answer as the "accepted answer". I don't see an obvious way to do that here. Is there a way? If not, should there be?

Let me refer you to a forum thread on the subject, from when we were defining what we wanted this project to look like.

It's not the most clear-cut thread ever, but I surmise that the plan is to have some sort of author acceptance. How exactly it works and whether it's similar to SE or our own take on it isn't yet defined, but we'll hammer that out when we get to developing it.

Quick review (OK, just read the first several and the last few) it seems that general consensus is "have an Accepted Answer option", "don't make it mandatory because it doesn't always work depending on the subject matter" and "definitely don't make it affect ranking or rise to the top automatically". I think it is particularly useful on the more technical sites - perhaps not so much Writing. I brought up the issue here because that seems to be the way to say "Issue resolved" on a Meta question.
