Do you think "Answerer 6" should be voted as best answer in this question?

I thought you gave a good answer and voted for you. You would be really nice to reciprocate and give me the best answer for this question.

I agree with you but it may not be practicable.  When you ask a question and you get say five answers you can judge the best answer.  How would you lump and rate say five questions?  Perhaps you could get one point for rating any question as "Good Question" giving the author a point too.  Please suggest that to Yahoo (see bottom of point page that invites suggestions).  You deserve the credit.  Good luck.

I think that would be an interesting suggestion.. Answers is still in Beta stage.

i'd say it is:      \n" hound9_4 " who has 468 Best Answers in this category, and is already on Level 6.\n\n\nWe're not worthy!!!!!!

I thoroughly agree.\np.s. I saw that question and was one of the two to vote thumbs up for your answer. (maybe the thumbs-ups should translate to votes?)\nA couple of recent ones that affected me:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgSxf18Kyry21mXE9W3mivnsy6IX?qid=20061121225303AAupl0v\n(This answer was chosen as best by a non-thinking asker.  That of course was his prerogative.  Nothing anyone can do about that.)\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ah_b1i5ihKrm77oz3vb9mqfsy6IX?qid=20061112192033AAqkpJu\n(This answer was chosen by votes.  Why is anyone's guess.  I suspect that the person has friends or multiple accounts and gets votes for himself many times.  Often when a question goes to vote, the first person to answer wins from others who vote just to gain points.  Choosing the first answer is quickest to amass points without even reading the answers.  In this case however, I was first and he still won without even giving a solution!)  Voting for oneself should be banned.  Of course most people are going to think theirs is the best answer.  Also, they give you a point for a thumbs-up for your best answer.  I think that after the question has been decided anyone's answer that receives a thumb's-up should get a point. (with one thumbs-up per voter per question after the decision)\n\nOh yea, heres one from someone who had some sort of beef with me.  I gave the only correct answer out of six.  \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqwNjAAr8lnv5i0CeBIzXiDsy6IX?qid=20061111203350AAHwwwN\nIt seems obvious to me that this person has been cheating.  He won every answer that went to a vote, even ridiculous answers, by 6 or 7 votes.  No asker chose any of his answers.\n\nPlease see also\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArM9MVchuu7R4STVKXzi5zXsy6IX?qid=20061113101829AAWjtj1\n\np.p.s.  From whence comes your nickname?  I am reminded of the Outer Limits episode "The Zanti Misfits".\n\nI wonder if anyone who voted thumbs down for this has the guts to email me and tell me why. I doubt it, as they have no fortitude.

Just a thought, but clicking on the button labelled "Vote for Best Answer" might work. Just a guess.

Many of the answers chosen by the asker are not correct...they are just in agreement with the asker.  Put it to a vote!  And, yes, this question is relevant.

I agree. I've had people actually choose my answer as the best, but they insult me anyway! Weird!

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.

If it's the best answer, complement the answer itself.\nIf it actually helped, say thank you.\nIf it's a random choice, it deserves a random response ;-)

chose me as the best answer of this one

I disagree. This gives you the opportunity to thank the answerer for their effort, which is important in building a sense of community. Sure, it's fun answering all these questions, but it's nice to be acknowledged, especially if I've put a lot of research and thought into the answer.

Absolutely.\n\nNobody likes putting plenty of thought into an answer, just to have it passed over for a poorly written one sentence answer.
