I recently found a person who has created 7 different yahoo answer ID. Now that person is asking questions and answering them and giving him or herself best answer. He or she has ask a total of 86 question and given him or herself best answer in all but 3 of them. But wait there is more. With all 7 IDs has answered over 300 questions and has only 3 best answers other than the ones given to him or herself. Is this a yahoo answering question? Or a Psychological one? Esteem issues? or just a cheater? Let me know if you want me to e-mail you their IDs so you can see for yourself.

Some one nailed it. Research is part of my job for the military and a hobby/obsession.

Wow. What a great detective you are. Your observation, focus and tenacity would be commendable in any career field. You will do well in research. As for the other person. S/he has obviously set a goal and are playing mind games to meet the goal. S/he probably goes through each day cheating people in small ways and feeling proud of the misdeeds, thinking they are a little smarter than the rest of us. You proved s/he isn't. One for the good guys!

Well, I think that person is such a stupidass. Why would she create different IDs if she just wants to get some points on this thing? She prolly doesn't have any life at all and all she does is create some IDs and answer her own questions and give herself a point. Wow! She's prolly having fun doing that. Lets just leave her alone and let her have fun on her own. She's not using her brain and she's prolly not thinking that the use of this "answer and question" is to find out if you're opinions are good enough for the questions of others. <3

I would guess esteem issues. That and evidently a lot of time to log in/log out/log in/log out to be the best answer. It also could just be a hobby. Ya know, seeing how many different ways there are to circumvent the 'system'. Who knows, it might be a psychology student doing an experiment to see _who_ would notice their obvious attempts at getting a huge percentage of 'best' answers.

I'm not sure if I want to laugh because he or she made 7 IDs or the fact that you went on and researched for such important information.
But for some reason I find it funny.

Some people just feel a need to "pat themselves on the back". Probably because no one else will.

I am your other identity. I agree with you whole-heartedly. Now, go ahead and pick this as the best answer.
