On Yahoo answers I think we should also be allowed to select a worst answer to your question.?

well i dont mind the dumb answers as much as i really dislike the mean answers but I i like this Idea. a star for you*

i may be receptive to the belief of choosing a worst answer, yet i does no longer get rid of ten factors for it. One to 5, according to threat. If somebody online would not like yet somebody else it does no longer take lots to demonstrate screen that guy or woman's solutions and choose 'em all as worst solutions. according to threat the guy who asks the question could have the alternative of choosing a worst answer for minus ten factors. It shouldn't come from the sphere, although.

I would not like to see this. Some people give serious thought out answers. And picking theirs as a worst answer would be a real put down! The average person gets enough put downs in the course of a day without another one. It sounds mean to me.

This is a great idea and I think it would correct some of the idiots who ruin Yahoo answers. This question gets a star from me.

Whoa TEN points? I dunno about that -- then the same people who put thumbs-down on any answer they don't like could easily deduct ten points from you, even if your answer to their question was totally legit.

I definitely agree about selecting a worst answer for your own question -- but realistically, I think that person should get 0 points and we the asker should get all our 5 points back for askin the question! Heck, make it 6 points! :)

you think that would stop all the idiots from answering questions in such ways that make you wonder how they are even able to take thier next breath? the problem isn't only in some of the answers but the questions also.

No thank you. The site has enough negativity as it is. There's no need to bring more upon the community. If you have an issue with an answer, give it a thumbs down. If it violates community guidelines, click the Report It button.

thats a good idea that way the spammers who post adverts would eventually lose all their points....

and the ones who post "i dont have a clue thanks for the 2 points" would think twice also...

however some people may just choose a 'wost answer' just for the sake of it...

However overall I am for your idea :)

This would be great. I think it would eliminate a lot of idiots from answering the way they do.

Agree with Kevin M
