What&#x27;s worse with SO is someone (new user usually) posts a good question.  Someone gives a shitty answer that gets them by and it gets accepted.  10 people come along with correct answers, but nothing you can do to switch the &quot;accepted&quot; answer.<p>The bounty program is also bullshit.  I 100% agree with the fact that the bounty should not be returned, otherwise dishonest users would just not award a bounty on the correct answer so they could get their karma back.<p>The 50% auto award of bounties to most up voted though is just garbage.  I have had answers that are completely off base that extremely quickly get up voted and they end up getting the bounty.  I&#x27;m pretty sure there is some type of voter ring style up vote fraud happening on bounties; at this point I doubt I will ever offer a bounty again since it typically no longer helps in me to find relevant answers.
