Have any of you tried the scam of having two IDs on YAs and then asking Q's with one iD and answering them with another, and then choosing that as the best answer? Just curious! And to answer in advance, "No, I havent!!!"

Dont get me wrong. I dont have a dishonest bone in my body(OK maybe a few), but my intention is just to create awareness(especially among the mods) of the possibilities of such things happening.

The Community Guidelines rule # 11 is very clear about multiple accounts. I think it is sad that so many people tend to "break the rules" on a regular basis as part of their daily routine.
The "scam" is that Yahoo!Answers Team does not seem totally effective in enforcing the rules they have placed into effect.

No I could never do that, but I think I have ran into someone who is doing just that which sent a big red flag in my brain!

No, I don't know all these little tricks, but today I was notified of a best answer for a question that I don't remember answering, it had my avatar, but when I checked my profile I didn't see it anywhere ????

No, I only have 1 ID. I don't really want another 1.

No what would be the point it's only a bit of fun and you would only be cheating on yourself anyway, there are no prizes.

I am not that starved for external acknowledgment that I would resort to trickery.
Just get more sleep and try to be more, clever, original empathetic or focused.

I have 2 yahoo answer IDs but I certainly don't go vote for myself or choose myself as best
