BEST ANSWERS ?? How it comes that a lot of Askers leave alone mostly of their questions ??

I mean why don't they choose which is the best answer even if they've received really a lot of accurate answers and leave them alone for the community's judgement ??.

    I think many people on here don't ever even bother to read the rules or figure out how the site works. I think they let the question go to voting by default because they don't know you CAN (and should) vote for the best answer to your questions. Many of them seem to be barely able to figure out how to ask a question, even.

    Even when you give an accurate answer, if you notice, sometimes the asker choses a wrong answer. Voting isn't necessarily a bad thing.

  • I do not even know why they ask if they are not going to pick an answer. I have never done that unless i wasn't on the computer and the question ran out of days for answering and then it will be automatically put to voting.

    Don't worry about the ignoring askers. Our answers will still be useful for other users. We share what we know not only to the askers, but other users. So it doesn't matter who choose us as best, does it?

    They would not have asked the question if they truly knew the answer. So, how could they judge which is the best answer! I only ask questions that I do not know the answers to!

    I dont know, I also dont understand why some ask riddles and then never tell you the answer! That drives me nuts!!

    I agree. You asked the question, you don't care which may be the best answer?

    because you have to wait 4 hours before you can choose best answer & then it's easy to forget.
