Would you ask more questions if Answers worked like this....???

um not really; as theres questions that you like want to know that hardly get any answers but theres questions that you know people will answer to, like the basic ones that affect everyone, eg. what colour are your eyes, where do you live, what time is it where you are

I might ask more questions, but I'm not sure the quality of question would improve thereby. I only ask when there's something specific on my mind. The plan you suggest seems to feed into the "poles & surveys" mentality of quantity over quality.

I think this would discourage people from asking in specific information-type categories like chemistry. Most of those questions are "get it right and move on" types. That is, if the first person to answer has an adequate, even a complete and comprehensible one, then what's the point to having a couple of dozen answers that all say the same thing?

It really is time to get over considering points that important. They are a tool to indicate what behavior is wanted, but mostly what we are concerned with here is building a data base of useful information.

i gotta tell ya pal, that plan sounds good= i had to read it a couple of times to do the math, but either way it does add up to points==When i first started this not long ago i would have typed anything for points, but now with my megar total on level 2, i just do it to perhaps help with a question, add a little humor so as not to sound dorkey to the max= and it makes me feel good kicken back ideas to people all over the world, and maybe even beyond== now i have to work on better questions=== my new brainstorm idea this week is dehidrated ice== a real space saver.

I would agree...

0-10 answers: 1 point

11-20 answers: 2 points

For every 25, an extra point...

Yeh, that could work!

But Yahoo has not listened for so long....

Im lucky to get 2 answere to my questions most i have had would probly be 10 id just like ppl to answer. But that sounds like a great idea

no i dont think so. I answer alot more then i ask. I dont really care that much about the points. I mean its not like we get something if we get so many points. The points a worthless.

Candy Rose for President!!

I like her way of thinking....she should be the chairman of Yahoo! Answers!

yup that's a nice idea indeed,hope yahoo is listening to us!

yes
