What is your philosophy on voting for answers?

I agree with you. \nSo many times have i seen great answers not being picked because the person asking the question. \nOnly wanted a certain answer or he/she had sidekicks who he/she preferred to give the points to. \nWell now i don't know about improving it when even yahoo cant or wont do anything about it. \nyes there is some comparison to democracy.

the above answer is correct... you get the points back when you pick the best answer for your q or put it to a vote

I agree with most of what you say.  Yes, vote.  However, don't vote with your heart so much as with your mind.  Feelings come and go.  Truth is eternal.

Go to the question.  Not all questions are open to voting on a best answer.  The asker decides whether to accept votes or not.

same deal here, I can help, or look for an answer if you tell me what your looking for or what voting process? Hit me up if you need an answer.

I would vote the way that I felt was right.  That's the point of having representatives.  If we just wanted to do what the constituents want every time, we'd have a direct democracy.  Sometimes the constituents don't have all the facts and don't know what's best.

In My Q&A, there is a function where you can view your questions and answers. Under questions you can look at all the questions that you asked. To vote for someone else's answer as a best answer just click on the button to vote for them in the question and answer page. Usually the ones that are most detailed and offer an opinion are the ones that I choose, so hopefully you'll get to choose me :)

If you want it to be.  You vote for best answer after all.

I don't really ask a lot of question myself but when I do, I try to vote for a best answer myself. The only time I let others choose is when I think all answers are equally good.\nI hate it when people leave questions open for a long time and then don't bother to pick a best answer.\nThese questions usually remain unresolved because nobody goes back to vote on questions they answered a week or so ago.\nSome people almost never choose a best answer and a lot of their questions are unresolved. I usually don't answer these people's questions anymore. Honestly, what's the point?

Most of the time I find questions to answer sincerely and precisely.  Sometimes I answer questions just for fun... like now... I'm going through the polling questions... those are definitely just for fun.

You know.. My 6 year old asked me why I vote this morning.  My answere is very simple... I like to complain, and the only way that i feel like i have a valid excuse to complain is if i atleast vote.  So for me Voting allows me to complain about things be it politics or anything else.

Absolutely.  It ticks me off that we can't vote for our own answer as the best.  This will definitely lower my Best Answer percentage.  I have a tendency to give my 2 cents regardless of what the consequences might be.  I don't know these people, and I consider myself to be a grounded intelligent gal- why not give the cold hard truth?  Now though, I'll try to give people what they want.  By the way, your question is the sexiest question I've ever read.  :P

Voting for best answers gives you one point.  Voting doesn't take long and gets you points quickly.  I suggest sorting by the number of answers.  You can do a lot more voting, when reading one or two answers.

I prefer to answer them because it makes me feel like I am helping someone who is really in need of advice. I generally only answer questions that I know the answers to,and try to be polite and helpful. It makes me happy and I feel good about myself at the end of the day! :)
