Who can mark a discussion SOLVED?

I entered a question (Disk Ownership Confusion on OS X Mountain Lion) around 11 pm 1/18 and edited the question at 11:20. At 11:31, a reply was made and it was marked as Solved mu question. I DID NOT DO THIS MARKING. The reply was in the name of macjack and macjack got the points for his reply which did not solve my problem. Someone else responded at 12:21 am the next day and that response SOLVED my issue but I can only give Helpful to him.

What is going on and can I do anything about this?

Some users are reporting problems with the points system. I will contact with the Hosts and tell them about your problem, although it's common and they know that this problem exists, so it looks like it will be solved on a maintenance outage.

Thanks for reporting the problem

Hi Bruce,

That certainly sounds odd. To answer your question directly (I think you do know this) only the person who sets the question has the right to mark replies. So glitch it is.

I am having a similar experience.

It appears to still be a problem as of 130726: link
