first off, you can probably tell from my score that i dont care a lot about points. but my question is this: why are so many rude people not rating for best answer: i see it every day, someone will ask a question and someone will go to great lengths to answer it, posting links, giving detailed information etc. and the asker never cares enough to come back and rate the answer so the person who worked so hard for them gets awarded for their effort. most times it is left up to the voters who for the most part just vote for the first answer they see to get the point. i cant even believe that some of my goofy answers get voted in. iam just here to have fun but it seems to me that YAHOO should start fining the lazy people 5 points for not selecting anybodys answer. this is just not fair....do you agree ?

i agree with you but not so much for the points. iam mainly here to try and help people, but when a asker wont come back and vote , i often wonder if anyones answer helped them. i agree with the voting as well, i think many people vote without really reading all of the answers. i have many best answers by voters and after reading the other answers i sometimes don't agree that my answer was the best, although it was at the time i gave it. also i have noticed that it doesn't take many votes sometimes only one or two. i will always try and select a best answer, its only fair.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
Many times I will post a question, and CAN NOT pick the answer. Yahoo will not allow me to ! They always tell me to allow more time.
I have limited time to monitor this site, and must choose answers quickly (usually within a few hours) Then I have to leave for work....and sometimes I do not return or have access for up to 20 days at a time.
Not the answer you were looking for....but it's an honest one.

No..and here's why...whether an answer is voted best or not is really just a bonus for the privilege of sharing...if answers to any given question goes to the voters poll, and an irrelevant answer gets "best" while significant answers are ignored, it is not fair...that is true...but it is the "freedom" of having the choice that is ultimately important. The rights and privileges of the act of "voting" should be maintained,...to punish for this privilege is simply unfair in and of itself.

a million. How generally do you participate on Yahoo! solutions? 4-5 days a week 2. Why do you employ Yahoo! solutions- to invite questions, to proportion your know-how, or for entertainment? different? know-how & Questions 3. what's your sought after area to circulate to on an identical time as on Yahoo! solutions? undecided 4. What do you like ideal approximately our internet site? What do we do to improve it? i like maximum issues, yet i think of which you would be able to make an "different" area for questions that don't fit in any categories. and that i think of which you would be able to permit people do "thumbs up/down" top away insted of fixing stages

Yeah, people on Yahoo! Answers are jerks a lot, but, hey, that's democracy for you. And it works.
