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.

I'm trying to search just the community highlights and/or copy/paste all of the community highlights out of a resource. Or, there should be a way to copy/paste a large portion of a resource and have the community highlights show up in the destination paste?
many of my searches I don't finish going through all the resources at one time. Sometimes not even the next day. I would like some way to mark up my search results, so I don't go over the same ground twice. I would like a way to say, nothing here, done, come back again, important, or something like that. These marks would…
Editing or writing a sermon can be done on an iPad, desk top, or laptop. Why not add the same functions to the mobile phone? So often I have an idea for a sermon I am currently working on and would like to immediately enter the idea into the developing sermon using my mobile phone, however, this feature is not possible.…
The way that original languages are set up currently is if one wants to see the meaning of the word, you have to press and hold to reveal the gloss. To highlight or select a word, the same action of pressing and holding is applicable. This is very disturbing (and tends to be very buggy after a while) when reading extensive…
Hi, my suggestion is to make the date stamp (foot note) at the bottom of the printed page with the option to remove it if desired. Thank you
