Answers should always provide an answer

Answers that do not fundamentally answer the question may be removed, or moved as a comment. This includes answers that are:

• commentary on the question or other answers
• asking another, different question
• “thanks!” or “me too!” responses
• exact duplicates of other answers
• not even a partial answer to the actual question

Answers are for solutions to the question. If you're looking to reply to a question, answer, or ask for clarification, Comments should be used for that purpose.

This may not fully apply to community posts - including community discussions, announcements and meta.
