Before this proposal went into beta, Tim Post layed out some ground rules on Area 51. If you haven't read them yet, I strongly encourage you to do so. The problem, a lot of you guys aren't following them, and it's really bringing down the overall quality of a just-blooming site. It's beginning to...
Is there a way to get moderator attention to delete a certain answer? It's completely wrong, it has gathered lots of upvotes over the years and is accepted, and the author has ignored multiple comments about his answer being wrong. Even one of the ASP.NET MVC developers said it's wrong.
Your options are:
Downvote it
Comment on it and on the question, hope people read your comments.
Edit away and fix stuff

@Stijn FWIW, the OP can't delete their answer either because it's accepted. You'd be better off trying to get the OP to unaccept it if it's truly that wrong.

@CarrieKendall I remember handling that flag, and thinking "oh crap" when I declined it just as I realized what you meant. It looked like you were trying to flag an answer as a duplicate of a question. ;P Sorry about that.
I typed "circular fashion" into Google Images expecting some crazy clothes with circle patterns, but instead a ton of images from Two and a Half Men came up...
I get a feeling that I'm being a bit misunderstood about the root cause from yesterday
I just noticed your new comments on the cleanup thing I posted yesterday
and I want to assure you that when Grace said <stuff> that I didn't understand it to mean "stop"
I'm not trying to excuse everything that unravelled afterwards, if I had been told to stop, I would have stopped
this isn't a case of me trying to push the boundaries
well, wasn't a case*
I know I have a reputation of being trouble at times, but this isn't one of those times, and the first meta post from yesterday was an honest question asking for clarification that went... south?
@Flyk look, I get that - you, FEwassname and the others went to great lengths to point that out in your first thread yesterday. That sucks. But, hopefully, everything is very clear now. So, lesson learned and let's move on.

@Shog9 Well, the Sec.SE post is about untrusted websites playing with your clipboard. Stack Exchange is ... well... trusted, you won't expect it to pull such tricks.
