Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

I'll probably contact people individually about this, but let it start here. Moving forward, please allow other users to answer old questions. If they give a bad answer on a six year old question, feel free to downvote them and comment to them what they did wrong, but please allow them to answer. If they're answering old questions with a link to something like their blog, then that's spam, please feel free to report that, but anything else, no need to report or chastise.
I think a lot of times people are coming to old questions and they just aren't seeing that they're old questions. They just want to help and then they have a bad experience when they do. I think allowing people to answer old questions will be more inviting, and I think downvoting bad answers will be sufficient.
Thanks,

I agree, especially when there's no accepted answer.
I'd suggest to pin this (to be "visible" on top).

Specially the answer of Richard Deeming to you there, that fits even better

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hi Sean, I think this needs to be pinned at the top.

I can't pin it anymore. It has to start as a pin. So I can either post a new one, or delete the thread and post again. I'm going to let this ride for a bit, talk to some individuals, then I can pin a new message at the top later if need be.
Thanks,

Please pin to top, I only saw this after reporting someone for answering old questions.

This topic is a two sides sharp sword.
I usually try don't to punish answering old questions.
But 90% of the people posting to old questions are just "bloggers" that do a search for a topic and pack just a link to that question, even when it is already answered correctly.
I do see the point, that technology evolves and maybe new possibilities have been opened to solve a problem.
Personally I will continue doing as now, have a look to the brand new answer and decide about its relevance, help to the topic. If it doesn't pass the evaluation, then report it.

That works. Downvoting is an excellent tool to let other users know about the quality of the answer.
