| Jul 11, 2019 at 7:08 | comment | added | Rob | I think the easiest (at least for the Devs) way, where this is important to you, is to: #1 Sort by Votes and look at the first few, #2 Sort by Oldest (usually Staff answer last and a so-called better answer is rare but not impossible) and finally look for the Most Downvotes (and not deleted), the staff can accumulate 100's of DVs and the answer (or question) won't be deleted - while an unfortunate person whom accumulates an extreme number of downvotes usually won't exceed ~20-40 (and often deletes). --- This isn't Animal Farm ≢ . | |

| Jul 10, 2019 at 19:06 | comment | added | Stormblessed | @rene Not a ton, but it'd still be nice to have a way to quickly locate them or, as animuson suggested, at least make them stand out more. | |

| Jul 10, 2019 at 19:04 | comment | added | rene | How many posts are there where the question is cluttered with so many answers that the ones from SE staff that are to be considered the official response are not present on the first page? | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 19:00 | comment | added | rene | They might think they have power. If we all leave, their "power" evaporates rather quickly. But I honestly don't believe SE is that naive. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 19:00 | comment | added | Stormblessed | @ShaWiz do something like mark the account as a former employee and if the timestamp for when the answer was written is from before they left sort it as an official response. jmac's answer would sort at the top. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 18:58 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | In many cases the one marking the bug/request as completed or declined leaves SE at some point and is no longer employee. What you suggest to do in those cases? | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 18:58 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | I think this drastically over-complicates the issue at hand, which is that you want to be able to find the official response more easily. Something like having a separate flag similar to the accept mark except that only staff can use and simply marks this answer as an official response would be far more viable. And it has the added benefit of allowing employees to participate as regular users without their answer taking more precedent over others. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 18:56 | comment | added | Stormblessed | @rene well I'd like to be able to see what the people with the most power on the whole Network are saying. It would not be the default sort, just an option. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 18:56 | comment | added | rene | What about the questions where Tims answer got to -86? | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 18:55 | comment | added | Stormblessed | May I ask what's bad about the request? | |
