Most people don't think before they speak whether on here or face-to-face.\n\nBut you have to give them a bit of credit, they must type incredibly fast.

I know what you mean. Sometimes they don't even answer the question. If your going to answer, then read what the person said or move on. Some people just don't have the patience to read it all, that is ok then there are hundreds of other questions with not much to read.

I think people are more enthusiastic about answering questions!!\n\nThe reason people are enthusiastic about answering questions on this portal is that we, human beings, like to consider ourselves to be intelligent creatures and this is one forum where we can proove our knowledge and wisdom.\n\nAnd the reason why people are enthusiastic in asking questions is that they want answers from real people instead of having to use a search engine.

Because people are basically lazy.  Why write out a well thought out answer, when you can put a one word comment?\nI have had this happen too, I posted a stupid question just to test the theory and got more answers than any of my serious questions.\nHowever, there are some decent people on here that actually take the time to answer your serious questions.  In that case quality matters over quanity.

They probably do not want too many questions and answers in their system, as it may slow it down. Also, they don't want people making many pointless questions or answers.

You have way to much time on your hands.  Try doing something productive like help people find real answers to real questions.  Or maybe ask a real question that has some meaning.  I know it's easier said then done...................................

I have to agree that it does take a thoughtful answer to score big on here...but it's not really about the point value for everyone. Some people are just here to use there anonymous screen name to be rude and have a laugh at someone elses expense. Some of us (like myself) put thought into their answers and offer some sincere advise to the asker. I am on level 6 and currently 21% of my answers have been picked as best.Don't get me wrong...I have answered some not so serious questions, and given appropriately not so serious answers to them...I have also found that I have a couple of times put too much thought into my answer because it was a "joke" question...though I didn't see the humor in it. TO each their own. We all have our purpose to serve here, so take the Not so genuine responders with a grain of salt. Enjoy the site...you will find in time that there will be certain members that you will hope to have answer your questions...Happy Q's & A's

It depends on what time of day you post.  If you post in the morning or afternoon a lot of times you'll get better answers.  Also, some people try to get stuff in really fast to get points.  The more thought out answers take time to write so they end up after the quick ones.

its the same reason why people go online and ask random questions, they're bored

Because some people just like to answer a question for the sack of answering and have fun. They are not interested at the details but just their own opinion...

Because there are a lot of moronic people answering questions. Sometimes I'm one of them. But just remember your not always going to agree or like what they say. That's when you ignore them. By the way congrats on the big day.

its  a enormous waste of time, trying to look up answers on your own,if you dont know/ dont understand the subject...i try to answer step by step simply so that these kids are spared beating their heads against a wall....i know most kids dont get personalised attention, or maybe simply shy to  admit they dont know.....here, online, its anonymous and they arent under pressure of being judged..so they ask questions freely, sometimes even the questions that seem silly, questions they wouldn't ask otherwise....

I don't know, why are they doing that?\n\n*laughs*\n\nSome people just answer questions to get the points, and really do not care anout helping people out.  I see a lot of answers like that around here.
