So, how do you pick a best answer?

Question

Entertaining, informative, or it just made you sit up and take notice when you read it. I figured since I asked the question, I should pick the answer that suits me. What do you do?

Answer 1

I'll choose:
The most complete answer or....
The answer that says what I need to know

And
If everyone is copying answers I'll choose the first one
If nobody knows the correct answer i'll choose the most entertaining

And
If no one knows nothing I rather delete the question....

Answer 2

Well, yes of course, you get to pick the answer that suits you.

If two or three answers have about the same information, I eliminate any with obvious spelling and grammar errors, then choose the most concise.

Cleverness or humor can win as well.

The worst, to me, are people who have just cut and pasted reams of material without thinking about your question or their opinions. They almost never get a "BA" from me unless they are the only one who got it right, although doing no work on their own. They remind me of people who copy homework.

Answer 3

I don't ask questions but it seems than many askers pick the answer that most fits in with their own ideas, no matter if those ideas are correct or not.

Racists will pick a racist as best answerer, mulim fundamentalists will pick someone who agrees with thier views etc etc

I don't really see the point in this sort of person asking questions as they are not in the slightest interested in opinions that don't follow their own view on life

Answer 4

I have only asked one question, I had two answers. I picked the best answer because it helped me find out what I wanted to know.

Answer 5

Entertaining yes,a little informative maybe (I'm a man we know all).The real reason is if I think their avatar is cute I pick them.Just kidding.Most of the time I already know the answer I'm looking for it's as if they took the answer right out of my head.

Answer 6

The answer that best answers the question is the one I pick.

Answer 7

I think if it's an emotional question the best answer should be the way that gives you a good feeling. If it's a technical question whicheve one answers the question in both a satisfying way and gives an explanation.

Answer 8

All of the above things you just mentioned. I pick the answer I like best, that suits me. My question, my prerogative.

Answer 9

I pick out a best answer when the reader read the question and answered accordingly.

Answer 10

Pick the answer that ANSWERED THE QUESTION BEST. usually these will have obviously a lot of time and effort put in to them.
