| Jun 1 at 1:45 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @NikWeaver If that sort of thing bothers you, then I recommend that (as a general principle) you post your answers as answers rather than in the comments. It's my understanding of MO etiquette that answers should normally be posted as answers. I'm not sure what you mean by "karma farming," but if that's a philosophical objection to the reputation system then you can always make your answer community wiki. Otherwise, if you choose to buck convention by answering in the comments then it seems philosophically inconsistent to me to then turn around and complain about someone else gaining credit. | |
| May 31 at 23:18 | comment | added | Nik Weaver | I appreciate that others may consider a full answer to be appropriate, but I'm still a little ruffled that the posted answer didn't mention that the problem was already solved in the comments. | |
| May 31 at 23:17 | comment | added | Nik Weaver | @TimothyChow If a question is too basic I will usually advise the OP to ask on math.stackexchange. For a question like this one (undergraduate level with a two-line solution) it feels appropriate to put the answer in a comment rather than try to karma farm. | |
| May 31 at 21:53 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @NikWeaver Is there a reason you didn't post an answer? | |
| May 31 at 16:05 | comment | added | Nik Weaver | Not to be a jerk, but I think there may be an etiquette issue about posting an answer a couple of hours after the question was answered in the comments ... | |
