I often don't know how to review a short answer because the audits often show that they are of low quality. If a very brief answer does help someone to solve their problem and is correct should I mark it as 'No action needed', 'Low quality' or skip the question. I'm afraid of failing the audit is why I ask.

    If the answer is correct it is not 'low quality'. If you see a post, it was long enough to clear the minimal length requirements to be posted, we have no other requirements on length. Commented Jan 30, 2019 at 16:47
  • @MartijnPieters Okay, thanks I will keep that in mind. Commented Jan 30, 2019 at 16:54
  • "If the answer is correct it is not 'low quality'." I dispute this. It might not be Very Low Quality, as in the flag, but "Here try this badlyFormattedCode(thatHacks, aroundTheProblem, butItWorks!)" is definitely not a high quality answer. Commented Jan 30, 2019 at 17:09

    Note that there is a scheduled job that puts answers which are mostly code, and short, into the low quality review queue. @MartijnPieters, is there a disconnect between your statement and this automated system? Commented Jan 30, 2019 at 18:55

An answer can be accurate and solve the problem at hand while being short.
