Doesn't this new, best answer ratio seem a little deceiving??
After all this new changes everyone's best answer jumped big time. All because they took out all the deleted questions out of the equation. Whoopty doo!!!
Does this seem fair at all? SO people can put stupid answers on stupid questions and it doesn't really count against them. They leave with 2 pts and everything else disappears. Nice improvement!!!
I'm not excited!! LOL

This never happen to me as a matter of fact my, Best Answers got lost.
Yes some question or of the wall and surely some answered the same way, but there's thing's that or out of our controll.
All the bad will be rid of in due process, So we must give thing's time to make a full circle to be connected so this site is complete.

I'm not sure what your saying about the Best Answers jumping up. Mine didn't that I could notice.
I did notice yesterday on my % in MY Q&A that my percentage of Best Answers was 9% while my answers were at 90%. I did not receive any Best Answers but when I went back and looked again my Best Answers were at 10%. All I did was answer questions. Why would my Best Answer go up when I received no Best Answers during that time span?
As far as the stupid Q&A's go, I think there are alot of violations going out for them. I just got through answering a question that a girl posted as to why she got a violation for answering "I don't know"...lol I explained it to her.
Have a good day!

Hasn't really affected me much, sorry.... I've never deleted a question and I don't really pay much attention to others' stats.
