What is meta? ×  This may have been asked before, but I can't
find it searching. If this has been brought up before, point it
out please.  This is also not commonly a problem, but on
occasion, one pops up. The "problem" is that new users add an
answer to a question that already has an accepted answer
(example). I'm only concerned about questions that are quite
old, say at least 3 months old.  The question goes straight back
to the top of the front page, but has already been thoroughly
discussed and answered. The new "answer" is commonly of no value
to the question, and the answer previously provided has already
been implemented.  I'm essentially proposing that you need a
certain rep (maybe 15, even just a registered account) to be
able to post an answer to a question with an accepted answer
that is so old (say 3 months 1 year or older).  share|improve

owner, new user could have been confused due to that. –  Ólafur
