Wrestling Section, when giving out best answers, do you play favorites?

Question

I know a couple do as I like to look and go back.

I see some questions asked and the best answer don't even go with the question, but the asker gave that person the best answer anyways.

So why play favorites?

Answer 1

no i dont play favorites to none one and usually what i look for is the answer with the most thumbs up usually and if not i research the answer to the question before giving the best answer to anyone

Answer 2

Sometimes I do favors for answerers, I am not going to lie. If one of the answerers is prepared to give me something else in return that I want, I will give him Best Answer. Not wanting to lie, I have also played friend favorites. If I have a friend on the Wrestling section and I see he has answered my question, I have given the Best Answer to him. I admit this and I know it is wrong, that is why I don't do it anymore. I stopped because I realized that this is unfair to the other answerers and that everyone deserves a fair chance at winning.

If I'm asking a trivia or similar question, where the first person gets the Best Answer, I'll give the Best Answer to the first person who answers correctly. Not the person with the biggest answer. The first person who gave me what I was looking for gets it over someone after him who writes me 3 pages, because the guy before him gave me the right answer, short and sweet, and that was all I was looking for.

If I'm asking an opinional question, I usually grade on who gave me the best answer, who spoke out their mind. I don't like posers and people who try to pretend like they are in a different point of view, just to receive Best Answer. The people I hate most are the people who truly hate a superstar, but then say they love them and talk all great about that superstar when they see that that answerer loves the superstar and thinks highly of him. If I catch someone like that, and I usually do, they will have no chance at getting Best Answer fo r that question because I hate those type of people, posers who pretend like they're someone else. I'd rather have someone insult my favorite superstar, and speak out their mind about why they despise them, if they're not lying and everything they say is truth. I'd rather have them than someone who sucks up to me just to get Best Answer. Trust me, I'm watching all of you and I'm great at catching those sort of people.

Like I said, this is a wrong activity and habit, to play favorites when choosing Best Answer. It is unfair to the other answerers because it makes them feel as if they never stood a chance in getting the Best Answer. This is why I feel it is unfair, cruel, and why I don't do it anymore.

Answer 3

I don't play favorites ... Whenever I ask a question, the most thorough answers gets "Best Answer" or if it's a matter of naming a wrestler quiz, I give the first person with the right answer "Best Answer" ... which is how things should be in my opinion.

Answer 4

I always look for the best answer. I know Sephiroth and Yahoo Ninja in real life, so if I ask a question that doesn't get any answers, I'll send the link to one of them. Otherwise, I give the points to the best answerer.
