Would U choose the best answer yourself or put it to vote? How u decide on this?

Question

Why u put a question on vote, but not to choose the best answer yourself and vice versa?

Answer 1

Until tonight I always thought people who put it to vote were just lazy and unappreciative. I always choose the best answer for my questions, because I feel it's my responsibility to acknowledge that people actually answered my question and at the very least deserve kudos. But tonight I asked a question and got 7 thoughtful, supportive and more than that, correct answers. So for the first time I don't know who to choose. I still will probably choose though and just thank everyone else for taking the time.

Answer 2

I choose it myself! Reason being, is that I consider the person who provided the best answer; had taken the time to a least provide an answer at all. I look at the different aspects of answers sometimes. Like, if the answer is informative, or funny, or short and direct, or thoughtful. Since this isn't a competition, I pick the one I like most. -progress.

Answer 3

I always want to pick the best answer. Aside from the 3 points i get for voting, i hate it when the best answer was chosen by voters rather than by the asker. I just feel that voters dont really read all the answers. Sometimes, they just vote to add a point to their score.

Answer 4

I agree, it is frustrating when people do not choose a best answer. But this is a place for people to gather information, It may be that they are having trouble because they choose or make their personal decision from many of the suggestions.

Answer 5

I hate when people don't choose a best answer, but sometimes it's impossible to choose because there are either equally good answers or none of them is good at all.

Answer 6

I choose the best answer

Answer 7

if I have too many great answers, I put it on vote... I just cant decide for myself. I read all my answers, so if I can tell on clearly is top notch and deserves a best, then i will pick it. simple as that...

Answer 8

try to choose the best answer by ur self. because u r asking question not others

Answer 9

if i asked a stupid Q that i don't care about, in a moment of weakness, i put it to vote. if i actually invested some thought into it, i pick the best answer.

Answer 10

i always like to choose the best answer
