how do you see if someone rated your answer as best answer and is it bad to ask a question?

Check your Q&A and find the question. If your answer was chosen, it'll be there, designated "The Best". As for the points, I'd say the purpose is to discourage frivilous questioning and give the asker some incentive to select a best answer (you get 2 points back for that).

I can't speak for anyone but myself.\n\nI find a lot of satisfaction in answering LEGITIMATE questions posed by people who are honestly looking for information.  Many times I find folks who'll post an answer with vulgarity or their version of humor when it totally uncalled for.  I will not post an answer if I'm not pretty sure I'm passing good, solid answers or common sense opinions.\n\nMost people, well...just about everyone who has picked my answer as "the best" have been quite gracious with thanks.  I get a lot of satisfaction in thinking that I've helped someone out, no matter how small the deed may have been.

Hello.\nYou need to answer to people's questions. But do so only if you think you know that answer, because you wouldn't want people answering you wrong answers. \n\nFor every question you answer, you get 2 points. If your answer was chosen as the best one, you get 10 points.

Yahoo made some upgrades that makes you lose two points when you ask a question but when you pick a best answer you gain two points so it should even out unless you get no answers, so you should pick mine as the best answer to get points!!!!!! lol

If its not your question, you just wait a week or so (depending if the asker extends it) until the question expires, and then you click on vote for best answer..\n\nIf it is your question, then just wait 24 hours from when you asked and then you wil lbe able to vote it as best answer.\n\nOnce the question is resolved you can vote to give the best answer a thumbs up or down..

Anyone with a high enough level can rate an answer. If it is given a bad answer rating, it will be listed as below your threshold.

...and if you did not choose their answer as the best, but you still appreciate the advice, you MIGHT be able to find their email address or IM by checking out their profile. Click on their icon/name. OR while commenting on the answer you DID choose, you can still name the others that you appreciated, sending them thanks as well.

You can rate best answers for one point each.  If you give someone a thumbs up, they get a point, too.

Wow!  I was seriously considering asking this very question!  I'm new to Yahoo Q&A and didn't know if it's ok to vote for your own answer, or if it's a breach of some unwritten etiquette.\n\nI personally look for the best answer to the question.  Does it answer the question?  Does it consider all aspects of the question (sometimes there's more than one part)?  Is it thoughtful and sincere?  Is it respectful of others' views, even if in disagreement with them?  etc.  \n\nI have voted for my own answer in a number of cases but only because I thought my answer met the above criteria above and beyond what others have offered.  But if someone else's answer meets the criteria (even if mine does, as well), I will vote for theirs instead.  \n\nIn the event there is no "best answer," I vote for the one that makes me laugh.  : )  \n\nThanks for asking this question!  I can't wait to see what differing opinions will be!  (Plus you saved me 5 points from asking it myself!  lol)  ; ) \n\nCheers!
