Survey questions for outdated answers

Update: Thank you MSO for the responses. We've incorporated your feedback into the proposed questions and the site satisfaction survey is now live for March 2021.

We are kicking off a project to begin tackling the issue of outdated answers on Stack Overflow. See this post for details on the initiative and our approach.

We plan to add a few questions to our Site Satisfaction survey that is shown to a random sample of Stack Overflow users each month.

Our goal is to gain a better understanding of what types of answers are considered outdated. Here are the proposed questions:

1. What types of outdated answers have you seen on Stack Overflow? (Select all that apply)

   1. Answers that have become obsolete as new versions of frameworks became available.
   2. Answers that still work, but there is a newer, better way to achieve the same end.
   3. Answers that may have never been the best, but were accepted by the question asker.
   4. Answers that now pose security risks or provide code that no longer works.
   5. Answers that still hold value to a subset of developers who use legacy technology, but aren't valuable to developers on newertechnologies.
   6. Other ________

2. Which factors help you determine that an answer is outdated? (Select all that apply)

   1. Timestamps (e.g., answered, edited, etc.)
   2. Downvote count
   3. Comments
   4. Sorting answers (e.g., active, oldest, votes)
   5. Trying out the code
   6. Other _________

3. What do you currently do when you encounter an outdated answer?

Have we covered all of the common use cases?
