There seems to be some confusion...

As usual, I went through deleting responses on a 20-some answer question. Here's what I normally do:

'''Remove as not an answer'''

Anything not an answer or something that isn't suitable for switch to a comment. I haven't been using this much lately.

'''Switch to a comment'''

I use this a lot. Instances:

Responses containing how one person fixed there own device.

People restating what someone more experienced already said.

Answers so vague that it couldn't possibly do any good to anybody.

And a few other once in a while cases.

Spam/offensive is always just that. I always try to use not an answer before I do that, but some cases spam is hidden in between the lines.

I purpose we have a new moderation choice, called "Archive as not effective" or something. What it does is moves those answers to the bottom with a message "Archived Responses" and all votes removed.

Also, if we want to delete a comment all we've got is remove as spam/offensive, which takes 100 rep...
