It provides bad information when a best answer tag is given an incorrect answer - especially when the correct answer is actually given in the thread. Please provide a way to remove an incorrect answer tag.
I support your suggestion, although I feel that the "Best answer" is often not authoritative - quite often users choose their own thank-you post as the best answer - and since the best answer is chosen by the questioning user, my personal expectation is not that this tag denotes an objectively right answer. But people less active in the forum might think that.

I agree regarding answers that are explicitly incorrect. However, "Best Answer" is misleading. The forum only asks if an answer answered the question. It does not ask if it was the best answer.
Therefore, it is perfectly legitimate for responses to be marked as answers that the OP appreciated even though they are not the very best answer. Notice that even the forum software recognizes this. "Best Answer" changes to "Best Answers" when multiple responses are marked as having answered the question.
Perhaps MVPs should be more involved in marking correct answers, as they would often be better able to identify answers than users unfamiliar with the forums or the Logos software.
Would it be helpful to change the language from "Best Answer" to "Accepted Answer" ?
I like how "Best Answer" sounds, but perhaps that is a bit presumptuous. "Accepted Answer" would more accurately portray what is happening and would potentially be less misleading for new users searching for answers. I do like how "Answer" changes to plural when multiple answers are accepted. To MJ's point, it may be appropriate to grant MVPs the ability to reject accepted answers if a user accepts a clearly incorrect answer that could be misleading to other users within the community.
Community Managers and MVPs do have the ability to remove a comment from "Best Answers"
In the three dots, moderators with such select "Q&A" on any comment tagged as "Best Answer" to adjust the classification.

First of all- thank you for all that you do and for how you have helped make scholarly Biblical reading and understanding so easily accessible. You guys, your customer service, your product, your response times, and everything is top notch. I wanted to ask if it would be possible to allow the ancient literature tab to be…
I learned that Logos will not search highlights even when highlights are filtered in the Notes. When searching for a word or topic, Logos only searches the "notes" within (or attached to) the highlight. It cannot search for any string inside the highlight itself. Which is strange given that the book that I highlighted is…
In Logos Mobile App I can add a new sermon, but I cannot find any way to edit a sermon. Would it be possible to add such a function?
While I like having the Bible references available for reference it is cumbersome to have there names so long that it pushes my notes window smaller and I also only see the first few words of the note which is difficult for later locating and sorting
When I open a text from Logos Scripture search on my phone, a new Bible tab opens every time rather than opening the passage in the tab that is already open. This is an issue for several reasons. First, it opens too many unneeded tabs. Second, I link the Greek and English in my open tabs. The new tab is not linked. I…
