Can the OP override a mod's Solution pick for a question?

My apologies if this is not the right section.

It's past the allotted time that Tom's allows for questions with answer but without a best solution chosen.

Can the OP select a different answer?

There is no hard locked "allotted time".
But...IF you are the OP, and IF the currently selected answer is really, really wrong....then maybe.
And generally with a comment in there of why the previously selected one was 'wrong'.

Do you have a specific thread in mind for this?

I blame ADD, which I have. My apologies, AGAIN.

It's more of an opinion based question and not a factual one. Coincidentally, I wanted to select your answer.

Generally, you just leave what the OP selected.
Especially in a thread like that one, where it is more of an opinion thing rather than a strict "Answer"

Consider this:
Question: "Is an i7 4790k a stronger CPU than a Pentium 4?"
Answer 1: "Yes"
Answer 2: "No, because a lot of incorrect handwaving and 3.8GHz is faster than 3.4GHz"

Answer 2 gets selected as the "Solution"
That would be a case where it the selection is categorically 'wrong'.

But mostly...you just leave it.
State your case in a reply, and move on.

I removed your choice.

 

[aquielisunari]

I removed your choice.

Another way to pet that cat Thank you.

And, in that thread...the non-OP should not have selected it, or any reply, as the Solution. At all.
If it ain't your thread...leave it be.

That BA was not selected by a Mod. It was selected by another user in violation of the selection rules.
