Answer 2

Are we supposed to pick one of these options? I don't quite get what the question posed here is (or how it relates to philosophy for that matter...)

For me, I pick best answers based on the rationality and logic behind the answer. I don't just look for who agrees with my opinion or if the answerer seems nice. Niceness is great, but it doesn't mean you know the answer. I always appreciate wit, but if it doesn't lend itself to an answer, there's no point to it. So...I guess for me it would #3.

Answer 3

Add a fifth reason - If you don't choose an answer then there is no meaning in asking a question . By selecting a best question you express your views in a way .

Answer 4

2,3,4 I don't just give a best answer because someone seems nice and sincere. There has to be a better reason than that for me.

Answer 5

3 although if it's too complex, over detailed, and heavy on sources, I may go with the simpler to the point one.

Answer 6

1 and 4. cheers.

Answer 7

It's very hard to choose, I would say you would apply different ones in different cases..

Answer 8

3
If I don't have that I choose a best answer based on how sincere and honest they were.

Answer 9

Thank you for your statement, but where is the question??

Answer 10

You can choose the best answer because somebody has low points and wants to increase them. (Please pick me!)
