LOL  I don't get all the best answers, just a few.  I think a lot of other people on here have presented a lot of really good answers that are often better than mine.  As for asking questions, I don't ask any because I don't spend a lot of time on here and would only ask a question if I had a very serious issue that I needed help with.\n\nFor those who are wondering I'm never on here on weekends and do this on a limited basis.  I try to answer mainly only questions that I feel like I can contribute to and where there isn't already a ton of good answers.  I feel like I've just been lucky to have had so many people feel like my answers are worth while.\n\nI also am a pretty good typist so I can answer pretty quickly though my spelling isn't all that great.

Cause you enjoy loosing 5 points to get 3 back when you choose a best answer. \n\nOr you could enjoy getting answers to your interesting questions.\n\nOr you could just have nothing better to do.\n\nOr you may not be able to think of interesting answers to others so you ask instead.\n\nOr.....\n\nOr......\n\nYour the only one who can answer this question buddy.

XYZ is currently busy answering questions, he sends his best regards to you. XYZ is flattered that you think kindly of his niceness. His work as a super nice answerer is never done. One day he will have them all answered. At the point he is plotting a point in the third plane. He suggests you try to move on to QWE and forget him.

Often, especially in "Society & Culture", the person isn't really asking a question.  They are going to pick whoever agrees with their pre-determined answer.  So even when your answer is actually "best", it doesn't get picked.  Sometimes upsetting, though, I agree.  If it is a really ridiculous case, I'll usually leave a comment.

When a question is resolved, people rate the best answer chosen no matter it is chosen by asker or voters. You have to rate first though to see the result of others' rating, unless it is your own question.

8 - doesn't it suck when someone else asks a question you just asked and they get way more responses....

Because some people want to know the answers from other people rather than their friends... because sometimes your friends don't know the answer so you want to find out some answers from some other people that may know the answer to your question.

You only have one question listed on your profile, and many people do not get all their questions answered, anyway. It's not a sure thing. I get about 98% of my questions answered - the other 2% go unanswered.

What in the world is this person (that you are referring to) thinking? There is always going to be an answer that is better than another (as far as opinions go). That is up to the person who is answering the poll. I'm not sure why there is even a field to indicate 'no best answer'. The only reason I can find for this option is that there are so many people on here that answer just for points that there may be a possibility of all answers being incredibly ridiculous. Therefore leaving no option other than to vote 'no best answer'. I, myself, have never voted for that, as there have always been people who answer at least with a link offering help - that is better than nothing or a snide remark. *shrug* Go figure.

There are two types of people in the world: People who have questions and people who have answers.  I happen to have more answers than questions, so I don't think I would be different if there were no points.

GodShew's questions are usually unintelligible. I've stopped trying to answer them. \n\nGodshew, if your questions were clearer, we'd be happy to answer!

Because after asking the question they don't want to give points to someone else. Plus everyone wants points not deducting it so everybody tries to score points. It must have been the software itself which makes us vote on such subjects without any logic.

It was supposed to be for Status, so that when you answer a question, people will regard you as knowledgeable, but people answer questions quickly and rudely just to gain points, so it really means nothing. Check out some of the answers to the Leaders...alot of them just answer stupid answers.

Why ask the question if you thought you already had the best answer?  It also wouldn't benefit you to decide you know the whole person based soley on a few actions.  There might be more to this person but nobody was willing to give their support or help to him/her.
