Limit the number of "marked as solved" answers per user per topic

Problem: I am seeing that sometimes to solve a single topic, a thread of messages start between the OP and some specific user, and in the end, some OP`s can give 5 to 10 (yes, 10) marked as solved answers for this specific user for just one topic/problem. 

 

I understand this situation as a problem for 2 reasons:

 

1-It can harm the Community Hygiene. If users start to crack the game and flood topics just to try to get more marked as solved answer point`s per topic, the topics will start to get messy and confusing.

 

2-This is unfair from the points perspective. Some users that are trying to give concise and correct answers are and will get far less points than the ones that are possibly cracking the game.

Real example of a topic with 10 marked as solved answers for just one user

 

Solution:  I undestand that if only 1 marked as solved point was accounted for each user that had the answer selected as a correct answer per topic, the incentive for this behaviour would decrease.

While we understand that having multiple marked solutions can be confusing, notifying a moderator when there are too many solutions marked is the best practice as they can remove them. This is the preferred method as sometimes posts can have more than one correct solution.
