is anyone else not had a answer chosen as best answer yet???

Question

been a member for about a month and always do my best to answer questions and give good advice if is something i can relate too but still not had a anwer picked as best answer! starting to wonder why i bother answering at all

Answer 1

i have the same experience! and you know what...what's more annoying is when the best answer does not really make any sense.

Answer 2

No, because I do NOT ask questions on YA anymore. However, yes, id o hate it when it's obvious some one is voting for their answer using alternate YA accounts to skew the voting when a question goes into voting for best answer. IF the answer violates the community guidelines in any way, like NOT answering the question that was asked DIRECTLY. YOU CAN REPORT IT. There is NO DEADL:NE for reporting abuse on YA or Yahoo. As long as the "Report abuse" hyperlink next to an answer or question is blue, the hyperlink IS ACTIVE. USE IT. Your question is a legitimate, knowledge seeking question. IF it is reported for violating the community Guidelines, APPEAL THE VIOLATION. MISUSING YA as a platform is becoming a pandemic on YA. It's more and more obvious that Community Moderation simply DOES NOT WORK and is being misused so often that the only solution may be to for yahoo to take YA completely OFFLINE. for several days so Yahoo staff can deal with the accumulated back log of appeals. I still have a letter to send to Yahoo CEO. She was in Washington D.C today, meeting with President Obama, along with the CEOs of of other major businesses.. Cyber-abuse and cyber-security are potentially serious NATIONAL SECURITY issues. There's a huge problem - there really are NO LAWS and no legal precedents in place when the abuser and the abuse victim and Internet Service that hosts an online forum like YA can be located in three DIFFERENT countries or states with a country. I've been cyber-stalked for more than six years, possibly longer, by one or more persons obsessed with discrediting me online, both personally and professionally. Internet law starts at the LOCAL law enforcement level. Your local police can't DO ANYTHING if your abuser is in a different state, and Yahoo Inc. is NOT legally liable, even though they are hosting the abuse.

Answer 3

I have had quite a few, and to be honest the ones voted best answer are the ones i havnt really bothered with, or ones that im the only person that answered. But be patient im sure you'll get a best answer soon. X

Answer 4

Relax honey. You're a noob. It takes a minute before you get a foothold within the system. Just keep answering to the best of your ability and you'll be noticed eventually. Take it easy kid, it's just a game after all.

Answer 5

i been a member since 22 September 2006, and ive got 49 best answers so far. i some times cheat and go back through my answers and vote for my own answer. im sure ull get loads all at once.

Answer 6

I voted for myself 100 times. I have 1000 best answers.

Answer 7

You will eventually. I have two best ansers and no idea how I got them. Just continue to give the best advice you can and the best answers will come along.

Answer 8

It's pretty normal to have that happen to anybody. But, know what? My experience tells me that the moment you get one best answer, there will be a LOT more to follow soon after that....

Answer 9

No, I gave my first best answer after just 2 days.

Answer 10

Answer 11
