What do you mean, "answers to be decided by"? We submit question and
answer. We accept the answer (only the person who asked question may
do that — and moderators of course).

All what is left for SO community is votes. And, in practice, non-Lua
people don't usually vote on Lua answers on SO. (Or they do it in the
right way.)

That is how StackOverflow works. And it *does* work.
