or did they really work hard for the points?

No cheats that i know of.. and, anybody that would buddy up with his/her friends to do that, isn't really much good.
I answer questions I can answer easily, to begin with, and then, I get more complicated... and by answer easily, I mean that I answer questions in categories I know that I know.. I don't try to do rocket science, but, being a well of useless information helps a lot.
I spend a lot of time on here, cause I am retired..
and, as the one person pointed out, higher level people ANSWER a lot more than they ask, and, if you take the time, you'll see that they generally have lots of Best Answers, cause they take time to research the answers given.
I am here because I like to help people.. and, as for the buddies thing, heck, I tell people that, if they DO need to ask a question, just use my messenger addy or click and send it to my profile, and I'll answer there.. That gets me NO points whatsoever, but, that's fine..
Sooo, keep answering and you'll get where we are..

That's a fair question.
I looked into the forum and it's a common topic.
I guess if you really had a lot of time on your hands, you could make other names for yourself - log in and vote for yourself.
But, come on -- this level business is not an indicator of status.
Say it with me, "my level has nothing to do with status, real or implied"
A lot of people enjoy this site. Maybe one or two are trying to manipulate the points system. Let 'em. The ladder climbing is your own personal competition if you choose to view that way.
95% of the top levelers are just working hard and enjoying the site.
From the forum, I learned that the biggest concern is that people just ask questions and don't come back and award the 'best answer' ... leaving it up to voters.
Click the ratings buttons more, lol.

I'm only at level 5. I didn't cheat. I just answer a lot of questions. I specialize in the music area since thats my area of expertise. I have some tips to get points. Always award a best answer to your questions. Also you can vote for your own answers as best answers if they are in the "in voting" stage and the questioner hasn't awarded a best answer after 4 or 5 days after submitting the question.

if you look at the top answer people, i did this recently, 1-5, yes they must have a lot of free time, BUT, look at their stats. the only stat they have.......questions answered and questions selected as best answer....which gives you five times the points...2 vs. 10. these people at the top have between 47-60% of all their answers were selected as best answer. you are only at 5%. you are going to either have to find a nitch that you know really well or answer the questions better.

they worked really hard at having a lot of free time on their hands cause it's not easy getting from level to level.

I think they must've worked on it... I'm not sure if there actually is a cheat, wouldn't make mach sense would it?

I think they just have lots of spare time to answer more questions.
