Who should be allowed to choose answers for Q&A?

I have noticed that no matter who answers questions first on this website or how good the answer is it always will say that it is approved by Epokalyptik. I know that the person who asked the question can change the person who answered it but I still think this is wrong. I don't think the question should be "answered" unless the person who asked the question decides for themselves, not the automatic choice of Epokalyptic and then whoever the questioner picked. Let me know what you guys think about this down below.

He unlocked it because people are still trying to help you guys make Q&A better. Bye the way is there a way to change the title of a thread so it's not as offensive?

Anyways, I'll be working on a prototype thingy for the upvote/ downvote system that I suggested, as it didn't get completely shot down, sometime this week.

Downvotes have a 99.99% chance of not being implemented for any aspect of this site.

Meh. I was told it was boring to code, so I'm taking initiative.

Theoretically, a simple way of fixing the issue for both sides of the argument would be to have a secondary "full/complete answer" selection for Q&A threads. OP is able to select whatever "accepted answer" he wants, and moderators have the ability to add in a "full/complete answer" selection if the accepted answer isn't detailed enough. No points would be awarded for "full/complete answer" but it would be there, labeled and ready for anyone who needs more info.

I like that idea, also not sure who did it but thanks for changing the title.

Wait people can still post in locked threads? What's the point then?
