I'm sorry to say but for me the UI there is even worse than the UI here. 
... And reading threads on other groups at /r/ the "tone" of many posts 
isn't welcoming. eg: A common answer is: "This has been answered already", 
go search for it. 

I think, this is a strength here in the group, that questions are answered, 
even if they have been asked in a slightly different way. ... At least we 
post a link or two. ... I think this is much more welcoming, than "RTFM 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM>" ...

That's right. ... Most of the time, I have to search for my own name to 
find threads, where I replied to :/. ... Or I have to filter for "stars". I 
do "star" every answer or thread, that I think may be interesting in the 
future for me. .. 
 

> Upvote does not exist.

What is this needed for? -- I personally think this is discriminating. Why 
should my answer be worth more or have a higher "counter" than an answer 
from someone else? ... 

On an other platform, that starts with "s" and ends wit "overflow" the best 
answers for me are usually near the middle or the end of the list. ... 
Because most of the time, my problem isn't 100% the same to the OT but 
similar enough to find useful hints. ... 

Why should I risk to answer a question, where I'm not 100% sure if I do get 
upvotes. ... Why should I risk to get "downvoted" for a "wrong" answer, 
just because I didn't understand the OT right.

--------------

I would be OK if the original author _only_ has the possibility to "mark an 
answer" as "This answer made it work for me" .. OR a general "I found a 
solution. Thanks for helping me out"

Tagging posts proved to be not adequate here.

That's right.

just my thoughts.
