When this was fairly new, there were a lot of intelligent questions and equally informative answers.  The points was just a race among answers to get to the top of the leaderboard but that did not diminish the quality of intelligent answers. However, as soon as more people teens, atheists and pervs invaded this site, the quality diminished. \n\nIt's very hard to find a question worthy of spending your time answering especially if those that get chosen as best answer are usually the one's the askers find funny or hilarious. However, since this is like a drug that one gets addicted to, some answerers answer whatever question they can - stupid or not - for the points maybe or even for a sense of consolation that they are not wasting their time on this site.

Good question.  I believe that the "best answerer" is the one who does the best job in answering your own question, and that may change from question to question.  If you receive say eight answers to a serious question, hopefully all will try to be helpful and having different views may lend depth and confidence in the best answer.  Also different and valuable sources may be provided to assist in your own further research.  The scope of questions runs the gammot from frivolous to trivia to fun to very serious as it should.  Total points and level are just frosting on the cake IMHO.  Good luck.

Its more than likely to just get the points..they don't care what they are writing...I was guilty of it and still do sometimes to the really stupid questions but I try and give as best an answer as I can!

I think that some questions stir something inside of us.Some questions are controversial,while others are not.Some questions are easily answered while others are answered by text book explanations.Hmmmm I wonder how many answers this question will get?

I completely agree with you! Yahoo! Answers is the most interesting site on the net. I can ask pretty much anything and get at least 1 respective answer and I never go long without finding questions that I can answer. I've even met a couple people on here that have changed my way of thinking about certain things.

Choose the best answer that  best relates to your situation

No! You just have to make sure you have yahoo answers set up to e-mail you when your question is up for grading or chosing a best answer, i understand what you mean but it is really easy to chose a best  answer, but if you miss it then you get some idiot chosen as best answer.

Huh?\n\nSo, you gonna choose me as the best answer or what?  Come on, what could of been better than this?

Why should it make a difference if the question is genuine or not if the question warrants an answer? There are a great many serious questions here hidden under a scornful facade and vice versa. Some of these questions although hoax's are still worth answering.\n\nIf I am suckered into answering a hoax question my hope is that the questioner will still get somthing out of it, if not, I'm not so self centred to worry about it.\n\nYes I do sometimes look as you put it, not to catch them out but to get a better insight as to where there comming from.

I think people answer what might be considered dumb questions for the points but also to regenerate a smart azz answer.  Some of these people only answer the dumb/less interesting questions because they have no better retort than what they write (which is usually half a sentence and generally misspelled).  As long as they get the points, they don't really care, I imagine.

i would say getting responses to questions because the points aren't very useful. However, it is a nice feeling to know that you have tried your best to help someone else.

Sure. Because you don't always get the most intelligent answers, much less questions.
