Forum: Holding Accept Answer For 15 Minutes?

In SE, answers cannot be accepted immediately, but there is a 10 minutes holding period during which the user that asks the question has to wait to accept an answer. According to SE:

If you accept an answer in less than 15 minutes after asking the question, you have not given the community an adequate chance to fully answer your question before rushing to accept.

Is this something that could be included in biostars.org?

Undeleted because I think this is a valid point.

I suppose we'd have to look at how often this happens. Given the traffic differences between SE and biostars I can't imagine its too big a problem here. What is the percentage of accepted answers here? I'd like to the see % answers accepted per question in the user profile.

You can accept multiple answers on BioStars, so the question is - is it really necessary?
