We can try, but as smooge noted we don't really have anyone working on the askbot code base / database and not sure when someone might have cycles to look into it. I don't see any existing option for this, but there is a related perhaps "What should "unanswered question" mean?" and it's set to "Question has no answers" with the other option being "Question has no accepted answers" We may be able to ask upstream for options around this... we can't be the only ones who want this. kevin
