In a discussion regarding a feature to notify the original poster (OP) and answerer when staff accepts a solution, twbartlett questioned why the OP is not notified when an administrator marks an answer as the solution, noting this seems like missing functionality. Falco suggested this is likely an edge case, as many communities prefer OPs to accept answers themselves, with moderators closing topics if they do not. jomaxro agreed it is an edge case but argued it would still be a valuable feature given that different sites have varying moderation styles. Finally, sam concurred that notifying the OP in this rare scenario is acceptable and proposed it should be configurable via a site setting.
Thanks @jomaxro.
@sam (maintainer?) - this seems like only half the “expected” functionality of a plugin like this?
If User 1 asks a question, User 2 answers it and Admin 1 marks User 2’s post as the solution; then surely both User 1 (OP) and User 2 (‘solver’) should get the notification?
User 1 (OP) is currently not notified that a solution has been found to their question in the above scenario?
Perhaps this is more edge case than I realise?
I think it is. On boards I use, admins don’t usually accept answers and wait for the OP. If the topic is done, and the OP doesn’t accept any answer the moderator would close the topic instead of selecting an answer.
While I agree with @Falco that this is likely edge case-y, I think it would be a very nice feature if implemented. Different sites interact differently, so I would assume that more sites than @twbartlett have staff marking answers and could use this (no data to back me up here…).
I think it is ok to notify the op in this rare case, should be a site setting for the plugin
