Undecided Questions???
Is it possible that Yahoo Answers adds some points for the number of undecided questions an individual works on, say two points for every five questions in one day?
Just look at the many that have been setting there for over 6 months and with more than 50 answers.
There are over 900K questions just waiting for users to choose. Since they are only one point at this time, there is no reason for anyone to spend time in this area. The database just gets larger. I believe there should be some contest to encourage users to participate in this section of Yahoo Answers.
Another option is that for every month old the undecided question is, then that amount of points is awarded if your choice resolves the question. Maybe another option is for every 10 answers in the question another point is added when you vote.
Therefore if a question has 257 answers and is 7 months old, the total possoble points for voting and resolving is 32. That would be worth it!
To decide the individual who receives these points, it is either the last one to vote the winning answer or the last one that made the difference. An example would be if 17 votes is the amount it took to win, then that person who voted #17 would receive the points, even if 52 votes were there. 16 votes were second place.
I know what the current point system is. I see a problem. Go to discover and vote and you will see a number of questions not resolved aproaching 1M. There are many that have been there for over 6 months. This is because one point is not enough of reason for us users to vote. Yahoo answers should make it worthwhile.

Those can't be resolved until a best question is picked,if your answer is among those 50,at this point you can vote for your own answer and maybe get the best answer 10 points !!

you get 1 point for helping deciede a best answer, unless you asked the question and pick the best answer yourself then you get 3 points and then the question is settled.
