By that token, adding [SOLVED] is not such a problem after all!

I personally find it useful to see [SOLVED] without having to open
each post to find which one in a long thread contains the solution.

Convention has it that only the original poster adds [SOLVED], when
summarising how the original problem was overcome. - i.e. suggested
solutions from others do not add it.
