<p>Is there some kind of way that comments that are in fact answers to questions be moved from a comment section into the answer section? Ideally the user who asks the question should be able to do this or a mod.</p>

<p>This would possibly decrease the number of unanswered questions a little and encourage people to be more careful to put answers where they should be.</p>
