Can I remove a "Great Answer" point that I accidentally gave to someone?

No. We learn by our mistakes.

Nope.. You are stuck with it.

thanks for the great answer btw!

Afraid not. I hate it when that happens though! I actually GA’d an insult comment once by accident…made me feel like a jerk. :P

The world probably won’t end. Don’t worry and just forget about it. Besides, I love getting accidental lurve.

I worked very hard on that answer!

Pretend you did it just to tweak the folks who hated that answer.

[mod says] Everyone above is correct… there is no way to undo this. I have accidentally given a GA when I was actually trying to remove an answer. :/

It’s just that it really was a horrible answer. Ugh. (palmface)
@augustlan
that’s hilarious.

@judochop Now I’m really curious… PM me!

And besides, @judochop, if you only knew. The person who gave that horrible answer might have been in a really sour mood and was just being bitchy. And then they saw the GA point and thought…“I really didn’t deserve that…” and then thought about what they did deserve and how bitchy they were being and what an effect their rotten answer might have had on others…and became really sorry and repented…and will never act like that again.

You just never know.

I hope it wasn’t one of mine.

Could you accidently lurve this answer?

I heard there was free lurve in this discussion

For mods, I sometimes think this is the thing that balances our fun out. We can go into questions that were pushed to editing, but never restored for whatever reason and GA answers. On the flip side, I think we’ve all had that moment of not just accidental lurve, but horrific, unaccountable accidental lurve where the comment had to go like no other and in our haste we hit GA instead. And there is no undo button. For anyone.

‘cept maybe Bendrim.

Here at last we glimpse the Imperfection of Moderators. We should treasure this moment.

Any have a tissue?
