Introduction
This guide demonstrates how to moderate answers to questions posted on the Answers Forum.
Who Can Moderate Answers?
Answers is a community-based feature that invites all community members with 100+ reputation to participate in the voting process for moderating answers to posted questions.
Before action is taken, each option for moderation requires a certain number of votes from individual users in the community.
If necessary, site users with Moderator or Administrator privileges can always override pending votes and make an immediate moderation decision.
