We can do better with forum responses

It is inevitable in any developer forum that members who have low quality solutions to a posted question where the person asking many times will accept low quality solutions when they do not know any better. I have noticed members in the new Microsoft Q&A forum who tend to post as per above will accumulate points and be labeled “community experts” which detracts from members who post often with quality responses. Not much can be done when the person asking a question takes a low quality response. A good example is using an Object for a property, parameter to a method, returning an object etc. when a strong typed item is used rather than type Object. The only solution and this may not fair well with the community is to point out decencies in poor responses to a question. Hopefully this will happen but doubtful.
