In this dumb grade competition where "best answers" are coveted, many answers are really a summary of other people's previous answers.

"In this dumb grade competition where "best answers" are coveted, many answers are really a summary of other people's previous answers. "
What a great question!
This Question really depends on your point of veiw,
But I don't see how people could think that Perhaps they didn't sit and read everybody else's answers and feel the same way as someone else. Isn't that a compliment that you gave a good answer when someone else agrees with you?
I know some people think that most answers are given before the responder sees the other answers- if you ask what color the sky is, then of course you'll see several answers with blue
on the other hand It could just show we aren't that different in our opinions.
Plus, many questions only have one answer.
I also believe that it Does not effect me. I never look at others answers.
But my personal opionion is that Mostly likely it's very little. I don't think people really look before that type their message. I know that when I think of something I just got on and type it.
I would also like to point out that I don't have to cheat and copy cat some one Else's answer. I give what I think is the best answer to a question and if it is somewhere around someone Else's answer then I can't help it because I am not going to change my thoughts.
And I just want to Thank you. I dont think they should show other people responses until after your answer is complete
(10 points?)
P.S.It is when the people resort to cutting and pasting entire pages out of wikipedia and caliming the idea s there own you know there is a problem.

I know that a lot of people copy-paste from other sites and then do not bother to give that site credit.
However, I was rather cross one day after discovering that someone had copy-pasted one of my previous "best answers" without crediting me. It was obvious, because the hyperlink didn't work in his response.
But if you think of this site as an educational site, people are only doing what our schools have taught us best- regurgitating information. If the person is just summarizing, but not plagiarizing, that's okay with me. If you can summarize competently, that means they've learned something.

I've also run into a few people that answer there own questions with a second account just to gain points.
Its points, you can't take 'em with you.

in basic terms have been given suggested as quickly as for a stupid reason, i became going to attraction it, yet different solutions suggested they only enable attractive to sound honest. I advise possibly it got here approximately some cases, yet i think of they have been kidding. merely pass alongside with it, study the guiellines and words of service merely IN CASE, then delete your e mail speaking approximately it. definitely everyone gets suggested each and every so often, and it;'s many times for stupid motives, if any.
