[MOD] Reply "Solved!" to the person who solves your post.

#Marking Your Submission Solved

When you get an answer to your question, reply to the answer with a comment with the word "Solved!" in it. This will give the user who answered it a point in their flair.

Only OP or a mod can mark a post Solved!, but if you see the OP say thanks but not reply with Solved! (give them at least several hours), someone else can reply with it and it can be manually marked by the mods.

Only one point can be awarded per thread. OP can contact mods if they believe multiple points need to be given.

Here's what you'll see when this is done properly:

  • OP responds with a comment with "Solved!" anywhere in the text.
  • Post gets flaired with "Solved" (note no "!") (by Automoderator).
  • THERE MAY BE A DELAY OF UP TO A DAY HERE, WhatisThisBot does not run 24/7. It's usually near immediate on weekdays.
  • WhatIsThisBot awards the point, sets flair to "Solved!"
  • Person who answered gets a reply from the bot notifying of point.

The reply from the bot will have who accepted the answer (OP or a mod), and a number indicating the user's point total.

You must comment with Solved! (including the exclamation point)

#What if I solve it myself?

Just reply to your comment solving it with Solved!. You won't get a point, but the flair will get set.

#Flair Points

If you have text in your flair, the number will show before it, e.g. "3/This is my flair".

If the bot telling you you've gotten a point is annoying to someone who answers a lot I can look into removing that for certain users or over a certain point threshold.

The bot is not running 24/7 yet, so sometimes it may immediately process notifications, sometimes it may be several hours. If you see the "Solved" flair set, don't worry, it will get done.
