Now that we're getting points for "tumbs up"?
when picked as Best Answer, do you think you will be more likely to rate answers?
The point system has been revised.
Have your answer selected as the best answer 10
Receive a "thumbs-up" rating on a best answer that you wrote (up to 50 thumbs-up are counted) 1 per "thumbs-up"
cute, TK )
I'm going to let this go to vote to see if the thumbs up numbers increase -- just out of curiosity. I apologize for making you part of this cheezy little experiment, but it's a free will planet. Good luck to all. Thanks for answering.

hmmm... from what I know, you can rate the answers as long as you are already in LEVEL 2. Rating doesn't really base whether you have an answer already chosen as a best answer.
And rating an answer, do not earn you a point at all but voting for the best answer will (that's 1 point).
So the best way to earn points is simply to answer as much questions as you can... and please try to do it smartly, you'll never know which answer/s will make a difference to the person who asked you the question/s as well as those that will give you additional 10 points.

well i think there is no point of rating . you don't get anything, only the other person gets some points, but the rater doesn't benefit.

I don't think there are points for that.
