No, when no one answers anything helpful and you end up figuring out the problem yourself
I guess you could also just edit your post then so you are right

Sometimes the answer lies within.

 

[Alexander1970]

Ok,that is a Point.

This is a thing in most other question/answer sites, as said it's exactly for when you figure out the problem yourself. The common etiquette in such situations is to post an answer that resolves your own question and then mark it as the best answer so other people searching for the question can see it there.
Obviously if someone else answered the question you should mark that instead.

 

[Alexander1970]

Ok,thank you I understand.

I never vote on the best answer because so far nobody has provided me a solution. In other words, best answers are better silent than incorrect

The issue is simple, someone can make fake issues and immeadtly be like "oh yeah i fixed it" and mark their answer as "best answer".
The thing is, when you answer is marked as "best answer", you get 5xp.
Someone could repeadtly do fake question and xp farm.

Are you sure you get XP if you mark your own answer as best answer?

yes

You do get 5 points if you mark your post as best answer.

But it's a non-issue, seeing as mods (I assume) can simply delete the questions and reverse the XP if someone is spamming it just to get XP.

Seems like an oversight
