Why do so few people give thumbs ups or stars on questions?

Okay here's the deal best to my knowlege.

The first 100 stars you recieve are worth a point a piece.

After that their just basic recognition, but even so everybody likes to be recognised.

Thumbs up or down, I don't think their worth anything but then again theres that recognition factor again.

So here's the deal, why can't we recognise each other and be more suportive of each others answers? Face it , it really sux to put your all into a question and not even recive a single star or on an answer, not even one thumbs up?

Thats why I take the time to star every question and do a thumbs up or down on most answers, I feel that if we all did this

it would enhance the input we get from this section.

So here ya go people, whats your thoughts on this subject?

Update:

I chose the wrestling section for this question because this is where I hang out most of the time.

Update 2:

Okay, Okay gang...like I said I chose this format cause this is where I mostly Q!A. But if all Y'all want a wrestling question here go's...

* Jeff Hardys gone on suspension for 60 days. Who thinks he'll get a title shot when he gets back and with who at what title? I was just trying to press what I felt was an important point with the people I feel I know and recognise....So'k?

    As for your first question, people don't take a lot of time to think "Well, if I give this person a star, his/her question will be more widely recogized." It all comes down to being selfish. It shows that even though it is something as small as starring a question or giving thumbs up on an answer is too much of a hassle to do or care about/think about. While we are answering questions, we think, "Man, I hope I get Best Answer," without even looking at other answers to consider other people's opinions.

    As for your second question, I know nothing about wrestling so I have NO idea. lol

    I here you talking and I agree 100%. I to star every question I

    answer. My thinking is if I think this question is worth answering then it deserves a star from me. I also give thumbs up to every answer that is not vulgar, durogatory or

    slanderious I feel It is the least I can do for those who took the time to give me a serious answer.

    So heh people wake up giving a star doesn't take away from your points so why not give!

    Some people read the questions and give everyone who answered a thumbs down ...no matter what the answer...which is really annoying to be honest. i don't let that part bother me. I do love seeing some thumbs up for my good answers. sometimes i don't get any thumbs up but i end up getting best answer instead. i like best answer better lol.

    i thumbs up everyone who is respectful and has a good answer if i agree with it or not.

    i thumbs down the losers who have no respect for anyone or anything.

    i star the questions if i agree with it...and if i think it's a strong question...sometimes i don't entirely agree with that question but i answer and star it anyway. some questions i don't star because i don't think they are strong enough...i forget ... or i don't entirely agree...they may have said something rude or something.

    i agree with you though...im going to star...

    Uh well I star a question if I really do find it though provoking and interesting. I thumbs up a question if I really agree with it and thumbs down a person if I really disagree or feel they are being unnecessarily negative or rude. Not every answer I agree or disagree with, they may be just opinions. Not every question is truely that interesting, I may have specific knowledge so I just want to share that.

    This is my way of looking at things. If I answer your question, I will star it. As far as thumbs up go, after I answer your question I then go and read what others have said, if I like I give thumbs up, if I dont I dont give it anything.
