What users are able to "Mark as Best Response?"
A while ago I noticed that I was able to mark Best Responses in conversations I didn't start or even participate in. I'm not here to debate whether that's appropriate (I saw that was its own conversation in November), just to get a better understanding of what users are able to execute that kind of privilege. I've noticed that I can do it on some conversations but not others, and I've not seen any obvious correlation as to why that might be. My current rank is Regular Contributor, which I don't perceive to be all that high, but I also don't know that rank has anything to do with who can do that.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the link, I see that as well (as I imagine all ranks do in this instance), I think it's unlikely to be intentional, more that it's a new space and perhaps it hasn't been fully configured yet.
I probably confused matters by including a screenshot image of a verified best response (which I'll make clearer now), just to show it in action in relation to this discussion but it wasn't actually for this thread, sorry, Amie McClendon for the confusion.

Out of interest, when was the last time this occurred or you noticed it (any examples)? I think I saw something similar very briefly a long time ago but it reverted back. The person that started the discussion can mark the best response, along with some special members like MVPs I believe. Best responses are now marked with who selected the best response, so it's transparent and it would be clear if something strange was going on.
Example of a verified best response
I am able to mark a best response on this thread. It also seems the ability to do this at a moderate rank is confirmed by our friend Amie. Amie McClendon, could you undo your "Best Response" mark for the time being, please?
